Irish Tradition - Corner House

Classic 1978 album of Irish/Celtic Traditional music from a trio who were based in Baltimore USA who only recorded two albums together before going their separate ways. Andy O'Brien's voice perfectly captures the feel of the lyrics, telling stories of love and hardship. Billy McComiskey is a master of the button accordion, also known for his more recent work with the group Trian. And Brendan Mulvihill is one of the best traditional Irish fiddlers. They are also joined by Mick Moloney (harmony vocals,bouzouki,mandolin, tenor banjo, mandola).

Brendan Mulvihill (fiddle), 
Billy McComiskey (accordian,concertina, harmonium),
