    Life ! To war. . . The start. Slow and mellow....infancy..rhythm grows. Moves to adolecence and teenage rhythm comes alive with life . Passion . Dreams. Love. Then the tragedy, the fall, now to war...the rhythm breaks , the struggle , stay afloat. Triumph the rhythm comes back .... reformed and realigned. Rise now the soul is formidable.

    I remember Cormac as a teen playing around West Kerry when I lived with Seamus for a few years I will never forget this magical time around the Begley family, hes taken what he's learned from his father Breanndan growing up and developed his own unique and powerful style, I have never heard a concertina sound like this ever. It's wild, powerful and just raw phenomenally good.
