- I ndilchuimhne Tony MacMahon, suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam uasal. In memory of Tony MacMahon, may he rest in peace.
Seo hiad Tony MacMahon agus Steve Cooney ag casadh dhá phort ag Gradam Ceoil TG4 sa bhliain 2004. Bronnadh an Gradam Saoil ar Tony MacMahon an bhliain sin.
Sonny Brogan's Favourites : Tony MacMahon (Button Accordion) & Steve Cooney (Guitar) perform The Reverend Brother's [or Sonny Brogan's] (0:00) & Old John's (Jig 1:49) at Gradam Ceoil TG4 2004, where Tony MacMahon was the recipient of the Gradam Saoil. The music awards show was recorded live in the University of Limerick Concert Hall.
Tony MacMahon (18 April 1939 - 8 October 2021 ) was an Irish button accordion player and radio and television broadcaster. MacMahon's chief early inspiration, accordionist Joe Cooley, was a frequent caller at the MacMahon home from 1949 until 1954, when Cooley left Ireland for the USA. MacMahon has described the memory of Cooley's music as being "embedded in his DNA.".
In 1957, MacMahon moved to Dublin to train as a teacher, where he came into contact with accordionist Sonny Brogan and fiddler John Kelly. Travelling in North America in 1964, in both New York and Dublin, he shared a flat with piper and singer Seamus Ennis, whom he credits as an important influence on his playing of slow airs.
MacMahon enjoyed a long career with RTÉ, first as a presenter of traditional-music TV programmes, then as a radio producer (he initiated the long-running programme The Long Note), and returning to television with The Pure Drop and Come West Along the Road. The Green Linnet was a 1979 television series documenting MacMahon's travels through Western Europe with banjoist Barney McKenna in a green Citroën 2CV van (nicknamed The Green Linnet). MacMahon retired from RTÉ in 1998.
Ceoltóir gaoiseach, snasta le tuiscint domhain ar an gceol, is cailliúint ollmhór é Tony.

Devastating to hear of Tony's passing. He was a giant and a musical and cultural legend. My favourite accordion player. Rest in Power Tony. Your beautiful music will live on for eternity. Beauty never dies.
Cannot get better than them two beautiful skills. Listen to the frasing, the pause behind the note. Tony you were a gift to Irish music
The gate keeper of our beloved trad music best accordion player ever may your spirit be carried to port na bucai
Oh my God. Has he died? Favourite box player of my dad and special for me too. Dad says he used to play in Slattery's of Capel Street on Saturday evenings, slow airs and all even on a Saturday evening, and you could hear a pin drop. Rest in peace Tony.
R.I. P. Tony I will listen to your beautiful music as I'm alive and thank you great man.
RIP too from Australia and so nice to see Steve Cooney playing alongside!
RIP Tony now you can discuss our great music tradition with the legendary Joe Burke
There is a big difference between playing notes and playing music, millions of people play instruments and make the same sound like a cat that presses it's paw against a note in a piano, but only the person who feels for music and has a high understanding can play soulfully..Tony mac Mahon on music..rip.
He had a fine understanding of melody and could use the left hand well...R I P .
And perfect timing, no rushing the tunes...old school..knew his instrument, right and left hand...
RIP Tony - great box player.
So sorry to hear of his passing.... With family from Clare mom's an O'Dwyer etc we have many DNA cousins over there. He is with his ancestors now they will thank him for keeping true to the music and old ways. If O'Mahony has his box it's in great hands...
Rip tony your still Alive when i listent your recordings and so Irish music is
Must be a quarter of a century now since Tony and his brother Bartholemew came to see me here in Kilkenny. They were on a voyage to re-discover the remnants of druidic Ireland. Tony well knew Otherworld before he passed there last week, I'm glad to be able to say. For him it wasn't only the music, but connection with our ancient ways..
RIP 🙏 Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
Mo cheol thú , ard fhear ! Solas síoraí i measc na naomh.
Níl pian, níl peannoid, níl galar air bith comh crúiadh cráite, mar éag na gcarad ná sgaradh na gcompánach.
Great Music
What a great player, a real loss to us all... but I'm sure he has them bouncing around in Heaven. Can anyone tell me the name of this tune?.. I'd love to learn to play it.
Never seen a bad video on this channel , what a great thing this you tube thing is , and of course the whole world can see the beauty of the green isle , wonderful.
Go raibh maith agat!
Thanks TG4 for the hugely informative notes that accompany this lovely upload/tribute.
Tá fáilte romhat. A short synopsis of what Tony achieved during his life as a broadcaster and a leading figure in Irish music. Go raibh maith agat.
Ní fheictear nó ní chloistear a leithéid, ach tá siad ann. Ní chaillimíd riamh iadsan atá gar dúinn. Forever in our hearts and minds Tony. R.I.P.
Hope that your are up there when I head the same way in a few years. Thanks man for giving us such great tunes.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
