  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This album, entitled ‘B’, is my second solo album. ‘B’ also stands for ‘Bass’, ‘Baile’, ‘Beaglaoich’, ‘Begley’, ‘Blueprint’ and a list of insults in both the Irish and English language! For this album I set out to explore the sound potentials of the Bass and Baritone concertina range. With this record being the first solo Bass concertina album of any musical genre, I felt it was important to share and highlight the possibilities of the instrument on a single album.

    I asked the west Kerry artist, Dómhnal Ó Bric, to design the fretwork on the front cover of the album. With help from Denis Powell and Pat Lawless, the design was cut into wood and engraved into metal. This fretwork contains a number of images and stories from Baile an Rua Bhroic, Paróiste Mordhach and Corca Dhuibhne (i.e., the Dingle Peninsula).

    This hexagonal album cover is bigger in size than my debut solo album.

about

This is one of my favourite slip jigs to play on the concertina. It is a well known traditional Irish sean nós song about a woman wanting to be Páidín’s wife and is associated with Connemara in the west of Ireland. On this track I wanted to demonstrate the nearly four octaves of the instrument, the use of drones, double octave playing and percussive techniques.
