Chris Droney (1925-2020) – Concertina Player & Dairy Farmer, Bellharbour, County Clare
'I started playing when I was eight. I’m seventy-three years playing music now ... I saw this concertina one, and it was top of the range. They wanted £64. I said feck it, it’s only once in a lifetime and I’ll have it. It’s done me ever since and it’ll do someone else after I’ve gone.’
