my grandfather played the box (just learned that term lol) and he is from Tournafulla (cleanglass commons) in the slibh luachra, and just learned that this is where Irish music comes from, now i know why in all those old pics are a lot of boxes lol. You guys sound great. I come from the Mulcahy family of the Commons (we used to have Mulcahy's pub i Tour, but i found out it was recently sold. I'm in Brooklyn.......Love the music
Learn again! Irish traditional music (the reels, jigs and hornpipes) comes from all over the island of Ireland. Some types of dance music have strong association with certain places - the Polka from Sliabh Luachra, Slides from Co Kerry, Mazurkas and Highlands from Co Donegal.
There's a family of great musicians from Moyvane in W. Limerick, the Mulcahys. Check them out, on youtube, they're wonderful. Could possibly be relations of yours!
Fair play to them. It is great to someone else getting the publicity' playing these tunes. Begley always gets the push' when it comes to polkas and slides.
hey everybody, ce son me transporte. qui a des conseils (artiste, groupe, festival...) ??? can't somebody help me ! i 'm mad about this sound but my knowledge is really limited ... et mon anglais aussi ... pffffffffffffffff :D :D :D thanks for thank you for giving me some tips, names... :)
Some say Cooney is too much here but I couldn’t disagree more. If you don’t want an interactive rhythm section don’t hire Cooney. He plays the tune, not just a wallflower to be played over…
Many a Wild Night / John Walsh's (Newmarket) / John Walsh's No. 2 (Daly's Mill)
THANK you!

Thanks!
Fantastic music. I love watching this and do so often. Brilliant musicians
Love it every time I revisit
Your videos are a must for all those who are interested in irish music!
Excellent music. Brilliant style. You're not getting any polkas played better than in Sliabh Luachra. Thanks for posting.
Reminds me of the great Maurice O'Keefe and friends down in Kishkeam. Great music.
Accompanying doesn’t get any better lads
High praise indeed Mr Edey, only you could come close!
Brilliant music

These guys are great. So glad we were able to shoot their show recently and post some vids over at WGBH Music.
Love those Polkas! Thanks so much!

Donal is a mean box player, I'll be seeing him and all the boys on Saturday at the ICC Hammersmith (4 men)
Superb!!!!!!!!!!! The height of the music.
That's a killer polka set!
Mighty stuff!!!

I actually learned to dance to this when I was younger. I live right beside the Blackwater :P
A mighty set of polkas. Interesting they turned the A's and B's around on the 2nd polka, John Walsh's. Opposite to how Patrick Street play it.🙂
Like stepping into a pub in Cúil Aodha!
Cooney RULES!!!!

Mighty playing lads. I cant play them but I love polkas. hup !!!
Can't beat a lively polka...Agree

Magic
It's magical, it must be the music of the fairies,
Great music
The 2nd tune is John Walsh's #1 aka Newmarket. The last tune is also Walsh's possibly Walsh's #2.

Bloody Melbourne boy lol
Didint he get married to sinead o connor
back off Cooney for Jazus sake
I agree- but we're in the minority, I think.
ara let the guitarists belt out the tune too if they want to, as long as they don't lead it. It cant be helped sometimes
I can’t agree. Love the Cooney train!
