@Totma11 best wishes to you too, i think we need to wish us a lot of good things in 2012.. Magnifique Mairead!

I have gotten bored with the instruments I already know, so am asking the wife if I can get one of these for Christmas. I want to try something new as well as get deeper into my heritages music, and so, this seems a perfect and portable instrument. This lady has given me something to aspire to. Thanks.

@gracchusbb Dear Grac, Very gracious of you to acknowledge my thoughts on the fineness of her playing.
Best wishes to you.

@Totma11 I agree...

@gracchusbb You are right about her 'serious' ornamentation, but she doesn't play with a tempo 'comme un metronome'... as her melodies are ever behind the beat and her accompaniments jump out ahead of the beat in contrast. Whether she (or you) realize it, her footstomping is used as a point of departure for her rhythmic deviations. If you heard this exact piece played on a sampler, you would realize how much more sophisiticated and artful her approach to rhythm is than 'un metronome'.

The choice of commercial is in incredibly bad taste for a fine program like this.

This is some serious, mighty, kickass concertina playing. She's so precise with her triplets and rolls, and her variation and creativity is boundless. But more importantly, her phrasing is so warm and rich, I could listen to this non-stop for hours.

Lately I've woken up to the effects of extremely regular timing - and this is a good example of it. It has a delightful lulling, hypnotic, calming effect, adding a happy sense as 'high quality' music. The instrument here seems also to have a beautiful mellow tone that adds softness. Lovely to listen to, thanks. Bruce Thomson in Palmerston North New Zealand,.
