An tOileán Aerach - Johnny Connolly

…An album that literally jumps with life and heady vigour…a wonderful piece of work that stands among the finest examples of recorded music on the melodeon.

- The Living Tradition

Johnny Connolly is a man with a mission on a melodeon...he’s a peddler of some fine tunes siphoned from the repertoire of Joe Cooley, Michael Coleman and their ilk.
