An Phis Fhliuch / The Clumsy Lover

[@dominiclapinta8537]

It's great that other cultures are getting into the pipes. I heard a song called open your heart that was composed by a Japanese woman. they had Uilleann Pipes used in it, which sounded absolutely beautiful.

[@KalafinaBTS]

Highly recommend you check out 'Cynical World' by the same Japanese woman, Yuki Kajiura! Namaimoan actually played Uillean Pipes in the live performance of that song!

[@KalafinaBTS]

Oh, i just remembered, the recent performance, she also played in a recent Yuki Kajiura live, in tracks like Red Rose. It's my absolute fav, and I'm sure it was her cuz she was on the album-art-thing, and the playing style very much sounds like her (Red Rose is my favorite from the entire live, that performance would not be the same without her, highly recommend!)

This video is proof that our good paddy maloney can sleep easy knowing that his work and others like his good self has been saved for all time in the hearts of all who would open their hearts to this beautiful music and save it for ever.. much love from Newfoundland Canada

[@alanmolox2095]

That was marvelous! I'm a Highland Piper myself, and can only dream of one day being able to play the Ullean Pipes as beautifully as you do! You appear to be quite young, how blessed you are because being this far along with these pipes means that you will be a master in your later years!

[@kyokoaristoc4187]

'It takes 21 years to learn to play pipes - seven years to learn the instrument, another seven to learn the tunes and yet another seven to learn the music.'

[@piperg6179]

Was said if highland pipes: 7 years learning, 7 years practicing, 7 years playing. Illeann pipes are whole other animal but just as demanding.

[@jerrycargill5062]

That was Seamus Ennis who said that. He also could spin a yarn or two as they say. Here is proof his math was a bit off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXyco4N-qJeZjtE

[@piperbob2]

Even a lifetime is not enough to learn (all) the tunes ! I need to reincarnate as a piper again to just keep up !

[@colmlarkin8665]

And yet another seven to tune. 😉

[@numealinesimpetar1]

Wonderful, young lady. I play the uilleann pipes myself. The alternative title for the first tune is 'O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick'. I am an O'Farrell myself. I hope you don't know what 'An Phis Fhliuch' means in Irish...please keep it up. My greatest respects to you.

[@petervandermolen4089]

SO WELL PLAYED!! great performance.

[@colindouglas7769]

The Clumsy Lover is a Scottish bagpipe tune composed by Neil Dickie!

[@Williamsmith42]

Before the end, the tone like a happy barking dog, I loved it 😂

[@HEADSUPBERKELEY]

Nice job and great chanter lift off "HOUSTON we are ready for take off!"

[@mattrn58]

That was lovely rendition. Congratulations on you graduation!

[@SkugSkellum]

Well done, lass! More power to your elbow!

[@dubgaa2511]

Excellent love the sound of this

[@rev.colfarquharson196]

Very nice playing!

[@tspc2186]

Mighty piping! Small correction, this is a slip jig known by two different names. Either The Choice Wife or O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick. The second tune is a reel which the name escapes me. Anyway great stuff and craic on!

[@CamStLouis]

An phis fhliuch is Irish for, uh, something that might make someone a "choice wife," stemming from a dirty joke made by a famous performer. The tune is referred to by any number of similar euphemisms in that vein. The true title is "O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick."

[@colindouglas7769]

@@CamStLouis The most common title for the first tune (yes, there are two tunes here) is Hardiman The Fiddler. The Clumsy Lover is a modern Scottish bagpipe reel, composed by Neil Dickie.

[@CamStLouis]

@@colindouglas7769 Where are you getting your information? Do you play Irish music? Hardiman the Fiddler is quite a different tune from O'Farrell's, and she's very obviously playing O'Farrell's here.

[@fechbrd]

Bravo!!!

[@holyMartin]

very nice playing. good triplet sound!

[@numealinesimpetar1]

Agreed! It's an important part of both tunes.

[@piperbob2]

Well done - very inspirational !

[@ian7583]

Just brilliant

[@edselsreadingchannel6724]

holy shit!!! she transcribed Neil Dickie's "Clumsy Lover" (Scottish Bagpipe tune) just for a little bit @ 2:03. I would like to hear the full transcription.

[@CatherineMcClain]

Were you playing it as a jig? It sounds different from what I'm used to.

[@k.padraigokane1472]

It's a slip jig

[@numealinesimpetar1]

An Phis Fhliuch is a slip jig - 9/8. 'Clumsy Lover' is a reel - 4/4.
