Discussion of the accordion in traditional Irish music, technique, legends and masters, tunes, abc's, festivals, performances, and the history and culture around Irish accordion music in Ireland and globally.

Discussion of other traditions (such as Scottish, Cape Breton, Quebecois) that relate to Irish music or the diatonic button accordion will be welcome as well.

It's a friendly, easygoing list. No toe-stomping. Minimal harumphing. Flamers will be forcibly subscribed to Coprophagia-L. ; )
