Would I ever LOVE to be able to play uillean pipes!!!!! In my final year of Irish classes most students wrote their dissertation on something historical or literary. Mine was on uillean pipes... ahhhhhhh
A fantastic musical instrument. Not only can you wail out humanity's angst while sitting on a rock blasted by Atlantic spray, but in the pub you can sing, drink, chat up the talent and play music at the same time... :sneaky:

The Red Admiral Butterfly - done marvellously!!!
I have somewhere the most fantastic version of this. Matt Malloy playing open holed wooden Irish flute with all its awesome breathiness and mellow timbre, with James Galway doing his thing on his golden flute. Best of both worlds - and enough to make any ordinary aspirant to flutery go back to her day job..

There is a guy I have met here locally who came to Ireland from Chicago with his wife, funny enough, neither one of them have any Irish background, but say that they love the culture.
This man is now the only man in Ireland who hand crafts and makes Uillean pipes. He now has a good little business here is Ireland and I sometimes run into him and traditional Irish music sessions.

Fantastic, Mikeinie!! I've never seen a pipemaker. There was a violin maker where I used to live, and my wooden flute was made by a wonderful craftsman in the Blue Mountains here. Sydney has just gained a pochette fiddle maker, I read the other day - he makes eight a year, something like that.

And here's a nostalgia trip for me. Fond memories of a crazy Irish party where three of us who'd been quaffing a few decided on a whim to try to play this in its entirely. It's quite difficult to halt a party in full swing, especially an Irish one, but this kind of did. Possibly for the wrong reasons... :sneaky:

Thanks gmc. I hadn't heard of runrig before. Interesting. Clannad - I went and played Newgrange - which is mega evocative. I've always thought they overdid the muffled effect - everything comes out with the same woooofly flavour somehow. Pity.

Yes, Alan Stivell is a Breton, and the Manau group are also. I love Brittany. Have spent quite a bit of time there - and it's very celtic. The language, the music, the folk tales, the countryside (think Cornwall). The scenery in the second video is Brittany - lots of dolmens etc.

Hello Pam:-4
I love your choices of Irish songs especially Luke Kelly. It's so sad that he and Ronny Drew have passed:-1
Did I tell you that I met Luke's wife Deirdra a month of so before he passed? I went to see a play at the Focus theater in Dublin and the owner treated everyone to cheese, crackers and wine. I found out that she was married to Luke and we had a great conversation. I was supposed to return the next day as she was going to give me a wee remembrance of Luke as he was very sick, but I had an emergency and had to leave Dublin early:mad:
I also love Runrig's "Lock Lomand"....Clancy sent me their site....great group.

What a pity, Kathy - but what a great experience anyway. I have a long term very soft spot for the Dubliners.

A lot of the scots and irish groups it's the female singers that made them.
You know you can listen to celtic connections on the internet the transatlantic sessions are worth listening to as well. The variety is surprising-it's not all bagpipes and jimmy shand.

I enjoyed that, Buttercup. Thank you. Nice folky sound, great banjo too. Good lyrics.
Oscar - I prefer the version you posted of the Theme from Harry's Game to the Enya one. I grew allergic to the echo chamber effect there. Moya Brennan!! I'll be exploring her, so to speak.. :sneaky:

Two very fine songs, Kathy. I know them both well. Love Ronnie Drew's voice.
"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is about Gallipoli. Here's the original - Aussies get kind of emotional about it.

Hi Pam,
Yes, Megan and I had some conversations about that song....heartbreaking song.
My Irish rellys taught us that song and we still sing it now at parties....

Sitting in a pub session is great, playing in one is even better... bawling out songs when you've had a drop or two can be awesome.
But for me, the best traditional Irish music, is a solitary thing.. a slow air twisting in the Atlantic wind.
