Greatest accordion players in the country??

corrcullen

Anyone have any opinions on who the greatest button accordion players in the country are???
Please no-one say Joe Burke!..He was the best in his day but there is a lot better than him out there at the present...

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...
