The music of my people...

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, it is time for another YouTube video selection for your entertainment. Today I am sharing the West Limerick 102 Community Radio Concert held in Abbeyfeale on the 16th of November 2007. This is a selection of slides played by Paddy King (who took second place in the Senior Button Accordion competition at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2007), Jeremy Spencer on fiddle and Clodagh Buckley on keyboard. The first tune is a fairly recent composition by concertina player Timmy Collins. The video is just under 5 minutes long.

Thanks to Comhaltas for making it available. Comhaltas is a non-profit group that promotes Irish culture. They have a network of branches around the world where people gather to teach music, swap tunes and generally enjoy the craic. More info at http://comhaltas.ie.
