Snug in the Blanket Traditional Music of Ireland Paddy O'Brien, button accordion Jamie Gans, fiddle Dáithí Sproule, guitar   This lovely feast of tunes features a number of rare and unusual settings that have never before been recorded, including several original compositions by Paddy O'Brien (Offaly). Button accordionist Paddy O'Brien has accumulated a veritable hoard of rare versions of tunes gleaned from more than forty years of patiently seeking out and spending time with older musicians throughout Ireland. Jamie Gans has been studying Irish and Old Time music for well over 25 years. At the time of the recording he had been playing with Paddy for about 15 years. The resultant fiddle-accordion duets are as tight as you will ever hear! Daihi Sproule is one of the most sought after accompanists in Irish music today. He is best known for his work with Altan.   links to secure server / on-line store
