The Paddy O’Brien Tune Collection is a historic compilation of 1,000 Irish tunes from the repertoire of Paddy O’Brien of County Offaly, an All-Ireland accordion champion and one of the world’s outstanding performers of Irish traditional music.
In more than five decades as a musician, Paddy O’Brien has gained a reputation as a walking encyclopedia of Irish music; it’s estimated that he carries in his head the melodies of nearly 4,000 Irish tunes. Created especially for serious students of Irish music, this unique collection can help today’s players learn Irish music the way it was traditionally handed down—by ear.
