About Sonny Brogan
- Sonny (Patrick Joseph) Brogan (4 July 1906 – 1 January 1965) was an Irish accordion player from the 1930s to the 1960s, and was one of Ireland's most popular traditional musicians.
- He was one of the earliest advocates of the two-row B/C button accordion in traditional music, and popularised it the 1950s and 60s.
- He originally played on a single-keyed Hohner melodeon, and later the two-row Paolo Soprani (pictured) which he used until he died.
- Sonny's Paolo Soprani was one of the rarest, the grey model, made in 1948, when the company still made them by hand.
- Offaly-born button box player Paddy O'Brien currently has Sonny's accordion.
