Al MacKay

I play traditional Irish jigs, reels, and polkas, and a few Scottish waltzes.  Add in some Irish Classics.  In 2026 being joined by  Dave Horne on bouzouki, mandolin.

I am of Canadian descent with my father is from Newfoundland and would play his button accordion when I was  younger.  I grew up listening to the Irish Rovers and the Dubliners, to name a few.

I started in 2015, playing old time Newfoundland songs about fishing, whales, and the sea. Then focused on Irish and Scottish music, which is what I have been playing for the past 10 years.  Instruments inclide the  button box accordion ,tenor banjo, and guitar.
