Played at dance performance speed . amazing playing by the most respected pipe player of trad Irish.
Be amazed at the skill and feeling, It blows me away. If I could have afforded a set of pipes I think I would have gone with them instead of fiddle. In Ireland the pipers and singers are held in more esteem than all other musicians. Especially singers.

I dont know if theyre all held with more esteem.. It depends on who it is I think like everywhere else..but I know what youre getting at. Alot of pride there.
I Cant remember which night, I think it was Thursdays when i was there... but in Ennis there is "piping heaven" at cosidines pub. A piper, Blackey O'Connel hosted.. I think i can say... There were several people in that session and it was standing room only for the rest.. its a regular meeting. He also lead a session at poets corner. If ever there its a must see! Seems like that was on Friday night. Beautiful Pub. awesome muscians.

Like the slow stuff as well Emily, but I also like the fast jigs. A bloke I worked with mikey, he is southern Irish was learning the pipes in Liverpool, amd I was going to go with him, but unfortunately he had a stroke and that was an end to it. He was from one of the olfd families, same as my missus, he had his crest tatooed on his back was really into it all, strong catholic with all the parades and such like.
Abitrusty, I am off to see part of my family in a week or to in mullingar, I am supposed to get to downpatrick as well, but I will be pushed for time, I may get over there and have a look, but its a bit of a drive over to the west, my mate Pat lives not far from there actually,
