Eddie Duffy

Eddie Duffy (1894–1986) was a traditional Irish musician. Many of his songs and tunes came from his mother, who played the accordion.[1]

Music

He was influenced by the playing of William Carroll and Laurence Nugent, from Lack, County Fermanagh. His name is now internationally known since he passed on many tunes and songs to Cathal McConnell of the group The Boys of the Lough.[2][3]
