No rushing through it... no fancy shmancy ornamentation, no trying to imitate other instruments, just driving pure concertina. Reminds me a lot of Chris Droney. She's lovely.
The fine old style with plenty of tight triplets, octaves. chords and repeating rhythmic melody notes. If you listen to the West Clare whistle master Micho Russell you will hear this almost lost style of music.
This concertina can now be heard on an album that was launched yesterday in Milltown Malbay being played by Mary MacNamara, Josephine Marsh, Jacqueline McCarthy, Dympna O'Sullivan, Ann Droney Curran, and Angela Crotty.
Fascinating video and great playing. Interesting that the air button seems to be much higher than usual and it looks like she is playing it with her index finger rather than thumb. Also no fretwork on the sides?
I don't think this is the concertina played on the CD referred to by Gary, below. That concertina is a big old 2-row German yoke. This one here looks to be a taped up Lachenal.
It's the same player David. She was playing the old German one when Neil Wayne & John Tams recorded her in 1974, but her daughter bought the Lachenal, and a Jeffries, off me after that.
Love this she has a style of her own fantastic lovely tunes
What a ga! lovely tunes -- great lift and swing.

That's an absolutely lovely sounding concertina, and well played!

Thanks so much for posting the name. I have been faithfully practicing it - and Ella Mae would be proud!
Love it!

That'a so nice.
On the CD on the Free Reed Clare Set,rec. 1974 the tune is given as Behind the Bush in Parkhanna
always knew Mrs Doubtfire had more to offer.
That's a good one.
what a crappy thing to say. just shiite, man. wrong on so many levels. your insecurity is showing, man.

Was she playing a G/D concertina by any chance?
