Rip the Bellows

Fantastic young button accordion player from New York, accompanied on this debut solo CD by Kathleen Boyle, John Walsh, and Steve Wickham. The Windy Night, Condon’s Roses, The Crippled Musician, and Fair Haired Tinkers are Shay’s compositions. He plays a Boxeen B/C for most of the tracks, and a C#/D Paolo on tracks 8, 10, and 13.

Where can it be bought?

I got it at Catskills Irish Arts Week. It looks like the link to order it via Ossian is dead — I shot a message to Seagda.
