"Old John's" has held a special place in my heart for years. I first fell in love with this jig through Tommy Peoples' rendition and later found deeper appreciation through Tony MacMahon's masterful accordion interpretation from Clare. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MpLPI6XRw8 |

Using the Xhosa chord cycle with major chords a tone apart must give the piece a unique and rich sound as shown by Zideki Mangaliso. I’d love to hear how it all comes together on the concertina! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az8HJ-0snyI&t=1s |

Daddy Long Les always brings something special with his unique tablature. It’s such a beautiful traditional Scottish tune. Looking forward to exploring it! It's great to see an old Scottish folk song explained so clearly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr7DDagGaf0 |

Brenda Castles is a talented concertina player from County Meath, now based in Dublin. In this video, she performs two beautiful hornpipes by Ed Reavy: The Gypsy Rose and The Lone Bush. Her playing captures the essence of these tunes perfectly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKus-eW3njc |

The Kesh Jig" is indeed a must-know for any Irish session. I also have fond memories of hearing it played at local sessions, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser. The Bothy Band's version is classic! Thanks for the recommendation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv8zAKkMzG4 |
