Turas - Séamus Walshe

Writing about Séamus Walshe, Mid West Radio’s Seamus Duffy described him as having “a distinctive style of his own” where his “musical logic is evident in his mastery of the instrument”. “It is obvious from his playing that he has studied the fiddle greats, and has mastered the art of playing fiddle type music on the box,” Duffy continued. “Indeed in this recording, many pieces more suited to the fiddle have been performed with great effect to suit the box. What makes Séamus Walshe’s music stand out from the others, is the natural feel, sweetness of tone and expression he achieves, especially in hornpipes.”
