Biography

Centered around the virtuousic fiddling of Northampton, England-born and New York-raised Brendan Mulvihill and the emotional button accordion playing of Brooklyn, New York-born Billy McComiskey, the Irish Tradition is one of the most influential Irish bands in the United States. Their two albums on the Green Linnet label -- The Corner House, released in 1978, and Makin' The Rounds, released in 1981 -- have been a major inspiration on the growing popularity of traditional Celtic music in North America. Mulvihill and McComiskey first came together as the Irish Tradition to perform during a week-long celebration of Irish music at Washington, D.C. pub, The Dubliner, in January 1975.
