Johnny Connolly is an Irish musician from Connemara, and one of Ireland's most prominent players of the melodeon (one-row button accordion).〔(Review: Johnny Connolly, Drioball na Fainleoige (Clo Iar-Chonnachta, 1999) ). Bill Simmonds, Rambles.net〕 In a 2008 TG4 interview, Connolly described how he first took up the instrument: his parents left the children home at Inis Bearacháin to go watch currach racing, and Connolly's sister showed him where their parents kept their melodeon locked up, which he commenced to play for the rest of the day, beginning his ties to the instrument.〔(''Galway accordion great Johnny Connolly on TG4'' ). Galway Advertiser, 16 October 2008〕〔(Review: Johnny Connolly, An Mileoidean Scaoilte, Cló Iar-Chonnachta CICD 157; 59 minutes; 2004 ). Geoff Wallis, Irish Music Review, 17 January, 2005〕 Connolly has been described as "king of the melodeon", the best player of his generation, and catalyst for increased interest in the single-row melodeon in Irish music.〔(Ring of Gullion Comhaltas Welcomes Johnny Connolly ‘King of the Melodeon’ to Forkhill ). Cross Examiner, August 28, 2012〕 Connolly's son, Johnny Óg Connolly, is a well-known player of the Irish button accordion. ==Discography== *''An tOileán Aerach'' (1993) *''Drioball na Fáinleoige'' (1998) *''An Mileoidean Scaoilte'' (2004) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnny Connolly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
