Delighted to hear Paddy's own feelings about the incredible journey his musical career has been, ❤

Wonderful! Thank you to ITMA and to Paddy for the many years of inspiring music. 👏👏

An absolutely amazing interview. Truth be told this probably only scratched the surface of Paddy's well of knowledge, memory and wisdom. Would that it had gone on for hours. An invaluable treasure of remembrances of one of the [small "g"] gods of the uilleann pipes. But thankfully this session captures what could have been gone and lost forever. A true gem.

Excellent interview. After listening to this I would love to know if there's any biography of Paddy or The Chieftains available.

Delightful interview. Who is the interviewer? So gracious and respectful.

The interviewer is Liam O’Connor, the director of the ITMA and a mighty fiddler.
