The Brock McGuire Band

This evening, I went to a great concert (it was free...but that was not the only reason it was great.) The Brock McGuire Band is an Irish Folk group fronted by Paul Brock and Manus McGuire. They come from County Clare, in Ireland and prvided a fabulous couple of hours of entertainment – featuring tradition Irish music sprinkled with a fair amount of old American Bluegrass, French-Canadian and other Celtic traditions. Button accordionist and melodeonist Paul Brock and fiddler Manus McGuire are two of Ireland’s most celebrated traditional musicians and have been at the forefront of Irish music for many years. Joined on piano by acclaimed composer Denis Carey and Garry O'Meara on banjo, mandolin and vocals.
Here is a little sample of the music from tonight’s concert:




I have some longer clips, but they take too long to upload,,,so here are shorter clips for your enjoyment.
