'To War' - Traditional Irish Jig on a Bass Concertina

This is a jig called 'To War' that I wrote for my godson, Soren. Soren is a Viking name meaning 'God of War'.
This was recorded at St. Patrick's Cathedral as part of the Simon Community fund raiser 'The Busk'. Please donate at simonbusk.ie.

Buddy plays the air button better than I can even play actual notes.

[@toddpertll5502]

I recently heard this song on the Fire Draw Near podcast and was blown away. Like, instantly pulled over into the next parking lot so I could find the album on bandcamp. Coincidently I bought my first concertina about a month before. Do you play both Anglo and English concertinas? Do you prefer one over the other? Thanks.

[@gellum]

Hey Cormac, just curious, what is the range if your bass concertina, and where did you buy it from?

[@user-qv6dm9jd4m]

My brother plays concertina and I play flute my dad plays fiddle (we don't talk about that)😅

[@marvinmontague4277]

Wonderful.What kind of your concertina is that?

[@kaneaccordionist4047]

Bass Anglo concertina in G/D

[@hodgepodgegarage1]

How much does one of those wonderful instruments cost? i would love to have one and learn how to play it.
