The Westmeath Hunt

William Mullaly was the first and one of the best Irish concertina players to issue commercial records. His discs, made in the United States in the 1920s, have been immensely influential and have contributed greatly to popularising the concertina in Irish traditional music. The entire collection of Mullaly's recordings has been newly remastered for this reissue CD by Harry Bradshaw. It is accompanied by a 60-page digital (PDF) illustrated booklet by Harry Bradshaw, Nicholas Carolan and Jackie Small which goes into the vast history behind each track and William Mullaly himself.
