'There’s great satisfaction in hearing your own tunes played': Jackie Daly turns 80
Kanturk accordian player Jackie Daly turns 80 on June 22.
Jackie Daly, accordion legend, composer, Gradam Ceoil recipient, and renowned joke-teller, may already have the honour of putting the Lucrative into Sliabh Luachra, if only as one of his vast collection of puns.
But as the Kanturk native celebrates his 80th birthday this weekend, now ranked among his proudest achievements is the title of the Man who put the Planxty into the Sliabh Luachra tradition.
