My Dad long dead used to say that Dermot was the Daddy of them all for playing the box and singing. We agreed on that. He was an incredible player and a gifted singer. The complete musician with the greatest sense of time and rythm.. Rest in peace Dermot and thank you for all the brilliant music and showing us how it was done properly.
The greatest player ever.i love dermot.he is not glorified in Irish music but he was too good.His expression is out of this world.his backing of himself is sensational and is the best music I have ever heard.if only orchestras could do this.Many sweet dreams dermot your music will alaways be cherished from here in australia.Tha duine mhath..
I'm afraid a lot of Irish people never realized how good he was some did though when i look at some of the Irish entertainers who strap on an accordion today it leaves me in despair no Bass on the left hand being played only the hand flapping like a Penguin to give the impression the Bass is being played. I'm a lifetime playing the Piano Accordion and how nice it is that we were good friends.Most of the present lot are chances in 100 years from now you'll still be talked about as Top Drawer Thank you so much Dermot.
