This week, Katie Marie and Joe put together a delightful hour of trad music featuring the button box accordion and the four-string tenor banjo. Although we’ve all seen the comic panels featuring the torment spawned by these instruments, we think you’ll agree that these two instruments are an absolute joy in their own right.
Our artists this week are: Mary Rafferty; Angelina Carberry & Martin Quinn; Dermot Byrne, Éamonn Coyne & John Doyle; Solas; Three Mile Stone; Caitlín & Ciarán; Aoibheann & Pamela Quelly; Beoga; Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich & Matt Griffin; Sharon Shannon; Boxing Banjo; Theresa O’Grady; Lily Gems & Eileen O’ Driscoll; Josephine Marsh; Joe Burke; and Mick McAuley.
Our FairPlé score this week: 63
