Music career
Born and raised in the area known asSliabh Luachra, Jackie Daly is one of the foremost living exponents of the distinctive music of that region. Among his early musical influences were his father, a melodeon (one-row accordion) player, and local fiddler Jim Keeffe, under whose tutelage he began playing at “crossroads dances”.
After working in the Dutch merchant navy for several years, Daly decided to become a professional musician on returning to Ireland in the early 1970s. In 1974 he won the All-Ireland Accordion Competition inListowel,County Kerry. To qualify, he was obliged to play a B/C instrument, at the time the only system sanctioned by the competition organizers, but immediately afterwards returned to his chosen C#/D system. In 1977, his first solo recording was released byTopic Recordsof London as volume 6 of their Music from Sliabh Luachra series.
Jackie Daly’s musical career is notable for partnerships with several fiddlers, beginning with Samus Creagh. Their 1977 album, Jackie Daly agus Samus Creagh, brought Sliabh Luachra music to a wider audience and, with its tight unison playing, set the standard for future accordion and fiddle recordings.
Another influential partnership has been withKevin Burke, on whose 1978 recording If the Cap Fits he made a guest appearance, and with whom he made another highly regarded fiddle-accordion duet album, Eavesdropper (1981).
Jackie Daly was the first of a series of accordionists withDe Dannan, appearing on four of their albums between 1980 and 1985. It was his work with this band that is thought by many to have paved the way for the accordion to become a concert-stage, rather than principally a dance-band, instrument in Irish music.
In 1986 Daly joinedPatrick Street, a band that Burke was forming withAndy IrvineandArty McGlynn, and with whom Daly played until 2007.
In the intervening years Daly recorded three albums with fiddlers Samus andManus McGuire, as Buttons & Bows. He also collaborated with fiddler Mire O’Keeffe, notably on the album Re-Joyce: Tunes and Songs from the Joyce Collection (2003).
In 2005 Jackie Daly was named Ceoltir na Bliana (Musician of the Year) in the Gradam Ceoil awards of the Irish-language television stationTG4.
In 2009 Topic Records included in their 70-year anniversary boxed setThree Score and TenThe Rising Sun/The Pope’s Toe from Jackie Daly – Music from Sliabh Luachra Vol. 6 as track one of the third CD.
In 2010, Daly and fiddlerMatt Cranitchreleased The Living Stream, a recording of chiefly Sliabh Luachra music, followed by Rolling On in 2014.
