"""The concertina is a small, free-reed musical instrument, similar to an accordion, with buttons on both ends. It was invented in the early 19th century and is commonly used in traditional Irish, English, and South African music. The concertina produces a distinctive, rich sound and is highly portable, making it a favorite for folk musicians. Its unique design allows for a wide range of notes and expressive playing, with each button producing different pitches when the bellows are pushed or pulled. The instrument's versatility and charming tone continue to captivate musicians and audiences alike."""

Using the Xhosa chord cycle with major chords a tone apart must give the piece a unique and rich sound as shown by Zideki Mangaliso. I’d love to hear how it all comes together on the concertina! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az8HJ-0snyI&t=1s

It's great to learn about the tune's history and its appearances in different recordings. I'll check out Hugh Healy's album and The Mulcahy Family's version. Always exciting to delve into these traditional tunes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcW4IM1GUu4

Brenda Castles is a talented concertina player from County Meath, now based in Dublin. In this video, she performs two beautiful hornpipes by Ed Reavy: The Gypsy Rose and The Lone Bush. Her playing captures the essence of these tunes perfectly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKus-eW3njc
