BERNARD O'SULLIVAN & TOMMY McMAHON: CLARE CONCERTINAS (THE CLARE SET VOL. 2)
Bernard O'Sullivan: concertina
Tommy McMahon: concertina
Bernard O'Sullivan and Tommy McMahon are two prominent concertina players from Cre-Cooraclare, considered "concertina country" in the 1970s when the original recording session took place. Like on other CDs in this series, the bulk of the tracks (17) is from the original 1975 LP release, but there are 10 additional tracks chosen from original session recordings which had not been used. A thick booklet provides extensive background information and tune notes.
