Not many people know an American that came to live & die in Ireland called Thom Moore wrote a beautiful love song to this melody..He also called it The Scholar..It's up here on YT..Well done lovely playing..
You’re right it does sound a little like a concertina. It’s not specifically ‘Irish’ tunes though. Those boxes tend to be tuned straight down the line where as mine is 8 cent off. It’s referred to as ‘swing’ tuning I believe.
Lovely song

Very interesting Michael, thank you!
Nice accordion. Is that special tuned for Irish, sounds similar to a concertina.

It is better known as The poor scholar
Thanks Eamon, I didn’t know that 😊
And it's played as a hornpipe. although originally being a Reel.
