Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall.

Laghdú
by Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh & Dan Trueman

Laghdú is an immersive fever dream of two acoustic hardingfeles. The recordings are unadulterated, sonically perfect, and presented in stereo. Each instrument swells and subsides and pushes and pulls, brushing you from all sides with intricate melodies, as if their sounds were neatly carried by unpredictable winds. It's a privilege to experience.
