about

In an unusual pairing of instruments, Páraic Mac Donnchadha on banjo and Cormac Begley on concertina play three popular session reels, ‘Ships’ a Sailing, Jackson’s, and Dunmore Lasses.’ Páraic comes from Ahascragh, East Galway, where his parents, sean-nós singer “the Master” Seán ‘Ac Dhonncha and ‘the Landlady” Bríd over many years played host to musicians and singers at all hours of the morning. Páraic only began
learning banjo in his College years but was hugely influenced by the playing of Paddy Fahy, Conor Tully and Paddy Carty. Cormac and Páraic began playing together in 2012 at the Feakle Festival, Co. Clare. On this, their first recording together, the instruments are tuned to the old concert pitch heard in the 1870s, somewhere sharp of B flat but lower than B.
