Award winning accordion player Conor Connolly joined Alan Morrisroe in the ITMA Reading Room for an evening of discussion and live music. The musicians who hail from Galway and Mayo respectively, delved into the early recorded history of Irish traditional music and some of the accordion players which have been a source of inspiration and intrigue to Conor along his own musical path.
