Irish American Crossroads Festival 2012 - Andrew Mac Namara Plays Accordion March 10, 2012

Electrifying button accordionist, Andrew Mac Namara, playing his unique style of traditional Irish music.

Andrew Mac Namara's individual style of playing traditional Irish music is both true to his heart and to the area in which he was reared. He was born in Tulla, Co. Clare, learning the strong traditions of East Clare music from older players such as Joe Bane and Bill Malley. In his late teens he joined the highly esteemed Tulla Ceili Band in which he toured both nationally and internationally for a number of years. He was a founding member of the group Skylark and recorded two albums with them before forming his own band called The Lahawns.
