An
Mileoidean Scaoilte
Johnny Connolly & Charlie Lennon
Connemara musician Johnny Connolly
Sr. is recognized as one of the great exponents of the
one-row melodeon. While he also plays the two-row variety
of button accordion, and has made several recordings previously
on which he used both instruments, this latest offering
is devoted entirely to the melodeon. Because of the limitations
of that instrument, the player is required to come up with
imaginative ways to set the melodies, and Connolly is a
master at this.
In
addition, his playing here is full of energy and spirit,
but without being brash, and Charlie
Lennon's excellent piano accompaniments complement Connolly's
playing perfectly. Also contributing is sean-nos dancer
Seosamh O'Neachtain.
Among
the 17 tracks are four (7-10) which constitute the accompaniment for the Connemara Set.
