Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels

The 2007 Comhaltas Concert Tour of Ireland played 14 venues throughout the four provinces in October 2007. The concert featured 18 artists (musicians, singers and dancers) and was produced by Siobhán Ní Chonnaráin, who also played flute and acted as Bean á Tí. In her solo performance, concertina player Ernestine Healy played this selection of reels commencing with "The Pidgeon on the Gate" with harp accompaniment by Cathy Potter from Co. Armagh. Ernestine is from Claremorris, Co. Mayo.
