Gerry O'Connor & Dónal O'Connor

Fiddles and Piano

In a review of a recent gig, ROB ADAMS in The Herald said:

 

"O'Connor's touch, subtlety of tonal variation, richness of phrasing and melodic vigor are marvelous and he has the ability that comes with true greatness where he appears

to be doing very little when the music’s really moving, in both the pace and emotional senses. What’s more, he has passed his skills onto his son, Dónal. When father and son play fiddle together it’s like identical twins, and even when Dónal accompanies Gerry on electric piano there’s an obvious understanding between them"
