Guitar player slides the capo up the neck to change key while he's playing and never misses a beat! Impressive!

[@50KPL]

[@ianramsay753]

Saw Catherine live last night at Douglas Folk Festival. Unbelievable playing and a lovely, modest girl as well. A pleasure to met her

[@lucblin5302]

All I see from this girl is on video, but you confirm my feeling, there is as much modesty and noble humanity flowing out of her as real amazing art, very amazing and inspiring!

[@wittywoo9559]

thats some serious playing there .. be proud of yourself !!!

[@nick.caffrey]

A pure waterfall of music from the whistle.... No wasted movement, all the concentration on the task.

[@davidbothof1077]

I never imagined that such full, gorgeous, brilliance could come out of just two instruments! That was terribly fantastic.

I just came across this, how I don’t know happy Christmas. It’s brilliant,

[@jiltedjohn9294]

She's an absolute star

[@jackcrane7853]

Bullshit. She's a musician. And you're an absolute idiot.

[@martinrudland4425]

That was lovely . Catherine has her own sound it seems to me. That is both on the Uilleann Bagpipes and the Irish Whistle. Just thanks for the cheering enlivening music interpretation.

Images of old times in kenmare appear in my mind listening to the whistle,

Superbe ! Vous êtes le Souffle la MUSIQUE Vivante et éternelle, Merci pour ces parcelles d'Harmonie que vous déposez en ce monde .

[@chrishughes2352]

Amazing!! So much talent here!

[@aidanbryanlewis2403]

I have seen you every day for the last two years or so and I did not realise that you were such a talented young lady.. Watching you play the Irish pipes and other instruments was incredible. Your fingering and feathering of the instruments is unbelieveable. I used to play the Scottish bagpipes but could never achieve such excellence. I am sharing your site with my Grandson, who lives in Germany and has a wide ranging taste in music, and wait to hear his comments. You are a modest young lady but very personable and as a much older person I look forward to seeing you every day and enjoy our conversations. I am not going to give away our secret of why we see each other every day!!! Bryan, 30 Fletcher H??l

Literally breathtaking to watch and to listen to - sheer pleasure. Fabulous! Thank you.

[@martyndevlin4727]

When you play Catherine ... men fall in love with you

[@franksabatino7576]

The whistle's flutter and the guitar's drive go together perfectly.

[@robertjohnston1339]

Ya both make me so proud of my Celtic Gael culture. I have been the bodhran for over 50yrs. Slainte Agus Saoirse.

[@occamrules]

Exquisite! The warbling trickle of the second tune reminds me of a childhood summer many years ago, lying in the warm grass at the top of a Northumbrian fell and watching skylarks rising into the cloudless blue. It makes my skin prickle.

[@timmylumsden8060]

Skylarks...I'm not from Northumbria (Norfolk) I rarely see one these days...Thrush???

[@A66omd]

@@timmylumsden8060 owing to the increase in raptors. It is the same here in the North too though we have plenty of thrushes skylarks have largely disappeared in the last decade

[@timmylumsden8060]

@@A66omd now I understand... also probably due to the disappearance of natural grass meadows... loads of Skylarks,Mistle Thrushes and Song Thrushes down here between Sheringham and Cromer....no more now due to intensive land use

[@galantkoh3917]

Keep coming back to this tune. Incredible playing, always leaves me in genuine awe. Have to make sure I don't burst out into applause in the office. :D

[@johndally7994]

Sounds great, Maurice.

[@antoniodilucia3448]

gentle rhythm, so wild at the same time

Fantastic ... cant wait to see the dvd of the gig !!!!! Cheers guys !!!

[@larissafae6359]

You are quite simply, SPECTACULAR

[@A66omd]

Fantastic transition at 2.15. Jesus. this young lady has to be one of the best Irish whistle players on the planet. Astonishing. She's so fast she makes Bolt look like a slouch. Full marks to Maurice as well for staying with her all the way!

[@alanvt1]

Irish?

[@irateofwatford]

@@alanvt1 Composed in England by an English musician, who is playing it here, and yet 150% Irish.

[@EoCEoCEoC]

The whistle itself is a tin whistle which is of Irish origin. We know Catherine is English.

[@marknauman53]

Stunning

[@huubroncken6964]

I think many would like to marry Catherine. I myself as an old man would "just" like to adopt her. What in every aspect a genuine and superb uillean pipes advocate, and successor of Liam o' Flynn, Seamus Ennis, Leo Rowsome, and more, she is! Plus... finally a female uillean piper STAR! (Not being Irish but nevertheless with a gaelic heart.) So talented she is!
