Irish Tradition : Suck & Blow, Push & Draw

John & Pip Murphy on the mouth organ, followed by Jim McGrath on the box and then some dancing and some happy slapping in the best possible sense.

Thanks for that video.

It was interesting to hear about single reed diatonic (blues harp) from John. There's couple of track played on diatonic on Murphy's album, i think it was played by John (Congress Reel... and Mickey the Moulder..). They are great musicians, very traditional and inspiring.

@ThumbAndFingers Thanks for the note and intertesting info.

That was great. I really enjoyed it. Do you play the chromatic harmonica?

[UISTMAN59]

I do, very rarely though.

The Murphy's of Wexford are well known mouth organ players. Eddie Clare of Cavan (friend of mine) was also a great mouth organ player. He passed away all too early about three years ago.

I have seen another video of them just the other day. Great playing.

Anybody know the name of the first tune played on the box?
