Yep, Joe Burke is the one (bearded) accordion player (and Terry Corcoran played guitar and sang). That album -- "Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part" -- is really terrific and came out in the mid 1980s.

yes joe burke - i hope he doesnt mind being referred to as 'that bearded accordion player'
i saw him play a couple of times with his wife on guitar - i remember at one stage in the set she joins him on accordion and he stops playing and she carries on and shows she's a hell of a players herself
i understand he plays flute too although i've never heard his playing

I downloaded it from CDBaby yesterday. Great CD, I highly recommend it. Michael has such as nice clean style, really great for learning tunes.
