78rpm Disc 223: Mattie Toohy's Irish Minstrels: Ben Lourie/The Kenmare Fancy (flings)

This week's disc features a set of flings from Boston-based accordion player Mattie Toohy's band. If we have the correct Matthew Toohy, he arrived in Boston in the early 1920s and features in a couple of images captured in a family history blog about a Keohane family living in Belmont, MA in the 20s (https://familyhistorybymaryellen.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-keohanes-move-to-belmont.html).

There was a band playing for Irish dances called Toohy's Irish Rangers by the early 1930s, and by 1939 Matty Toohy's Irish Minstrels were playing for the Big Irish Dance on St. Patrick's Night at Deacon Hall.

Recorded on the Copley label (9-208). From the Ted McGraw Collection, McGraw 78 00-796.

Established in 1992, the Ward Irish Music Archives houses the largest public collection of Irish music in America. It is named after John J. Ward Jr., father of Irish Fest founder Ed Ward. The archive currently consists of more than 40,000 Irish music recordings and pieces of memorabilia ranging from rare 78 rpm's, LP's and sheet music to song books, instruments, and concert memorabilia. Many of the archives items are extremely difficult to find today, and our diverse collections focus on subjects such as Irish traditional music, Irish folk songs, Scottish music, and Irish contributions to American popular music.
