about
I composed the first tune in memory a good friend’s father – John Chambers (RIP). He played the accordion and had a great love of the music.
Chicago Man is written for John Daly who spent many years in America. I got to know him when he returned to Ireland to live in Leitrim. He opened my ears to different players not only from Ireland but Scotland, Shetland and Cape Breton.
The great Tommy Peoples passed away in 2018 and the closing reel is dedicated to him. I was fortunate to meet him at his home up in St. Jonstone, Donegal, and even more fortunate to get to draw his portrait for the cover of his live album Recorded at Fiddler’s Hearth. He was truly a unique artist.

Hello Aidan, I purchased your new album in April and have enjoyed playing the download. When the it arrived in the post there was no physical CD inside the case. I have been promised a replacement but have still not received anything. I only need the CD - I have the case. Obviously I can create a CD from the download, but that’s not the point. Hope you can help.
Best wishes, Martin D’Arcy
