Concertina Reel (The)

“The Concertina Reel” is a common session tune that I associate with the great accordion player Bobby Gardiner, with whom I played a few sessions at the Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna.

  1. Love your tunes from Doolin. I have visited Doolin last June. I love your music. I play the button accordion by ear. I am currently learning to play the Concertina. I can read notation, but I prefer to play by ear.
    I am currently trying to learn The Concertina Reel.
