Biography

Jackie Daly (born June 22, 1945) is an Irish button accordion and concertina player from Kanturk, County Cork. Raised in Sliabh Luachra, he studied under fiddler Jim Keeffe. After serving in the Dutch merchant navy, Daly became a professional musician in the early 1970s. In 1974, he won the All-Ireland Accordion Competition. Daly is widely credited with rehabilitating the accordion’s image and establishing it as a concert-stage instrument. He released his solo debut, Music from Sliabh Luachra, Vol. 6, in 1977. His career features partnerships with fiddlers Séamus Creagh and Kevin Burke, notably on the 1981 album Eavesdropper. Daly was a member of the ensembles De Dannan, Patrick Street, Arcady, and Buttons & Bows. In 2005, he received the Ceoltóir na Bliana award from TG4. His later work includes The Living Stream (2010) with Matt Cranitch. Daly also served as an instructor at the Willie Clancy Summer School.
