    Dermot Byrne, Derek Hickey, Luke Daniels.

    Take your pic. Though most accordian players themselves would say Dermot Byrne, -an incredible musician.

    Martin O Connor is quite good if you like that style of Trad music . I also like Sharon Shannon but again you have to like the style, some of the more traditionalist are not too keen on it.

    Good calls, one and all,
    There was a Portlaoise fella called Tom Dermody floatin' around Dublin, 'bout twenty years ago now.
    He was the best I ever heard,
    Huge repetoire, and an unsurpassed feeeling for his art.

    I often wonder where he got to...

    Slan,
    S.
