In the mid-19th century, Ireland's Gaelic Revival aimed to preserve and promote Irish language, literature, and music. The concertina, alongside the accordion, became essential instruments in this cultural resurgence. Its emotive capabilities and storytelling through music resonated deeply with Irish musicians, who embraced it as a symbol of their identity and heritage. |

Thanks for the info! It's great to learn about the tune's history and its appearances in different recordings. I'll check out Hugh Healy's album and The Mulcahy Family's version. Always exciting to delve into these traditional tunes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcW4IM1GUu0 |

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 |
