Sonny Brogan's Favourites : Tony MacMahon (Button Accordion) & Steve Cooney (Guitar) perform The Reverend Brother's [or Sonny Brogan's] (0:00) & Old John's (Jig 1:49) at Gradam Ceoil TG4 2004, where Tony MacMahon was the recipient of the Gradam Saoil. The music awards show was recorded live in the University of Limerick Concert Hall.

Tony MacMahon (18 April 1939 - 8 October 2021 ) was an Irish button accordion player and radio and television broadcaster. MacMahon's chief early inspiration, accordionist Joe Cooley, was a frequent caller at the MacMahon home from 1949 until 1954, when Cooley left Ireland for the USA. MacMahon has described the memory of Cooley's music as being "embedded in his DNA.".

In 1957, MacMahon moved to Dublin to train as a teacher, where he came into contact with accordionist Sonny Brogan and fiddler John Kelly. Travelling in North America in 1964, in both New York and Dublin, he shared a flat with piper and singer Seamus Ennis, whom he credits as an important influence on his playing of slow airs.

MacMahon enjoyed a long career with RTÉ, first as a presenter of traditional-music TV programmes, then as a radio producer (he initiated the long-running programme The Long Note), and returning to television with The Pure Drop and Come West Along the Road. The Green Linnet was a 1979 television series documenting MacMahon's travels through Western Europe with banjoist Barney McKenna in a green Citroën 2CV van (nicknamed The Green Linnet). MacMahon retired from RTÉ in 1998.

Ceoltóir gaoiseach, snasta le tuiscint domhain ar an gceol, is cailliúint ollmhór é Tony.
