Maigh Seola played by Ger Fahy on Uileann Pipes

[@npkinsey9913]

Hush, listen... the whole history of Ireland and its people is in this piece. May God bless you all my fellow brave Celts X

[@katemcauliffe593]

This touches my soul My mother Céline Cronin McAuliffe who has passed played the uileann pipes and this connects our hearts Thank you 💛💛

[@paigeeloise7748]

This is the reason I fell in love with Ireland. I can close my eyes and go back there. Absolutely beautiful song, no words could describe the feelings of serenity and peace his talent provokes.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Your last word, "evokes", not "provokes".

[@dominiquelebruchec8637]

[@ketilliland]

Playing along right now! One of my absolute favourite piping tunes!

[@concong4183]

Whoever came up with this instrument did mankind a favour.

[@andrewgreaves75]

I was on the m6 motorway trying to get somewhere 10mins before i set off ,having a bad stressful day then i played this within about 2mins i was so relaxed i got over taken by a lorry 🏝🏝🏖🏞👍👍👍

[@gloin10]

OK, lovely sound. Sends shivers down my spine. Now, all we have to do is to evolve the third arm actually required to play the bloody pipes properly... And yes, I tortured my family for several years trying to learn how to play them...

[@gerosullivan2603]

Uniquely and exclusively Irish music nowhere else in the world can replicate this it’s our proud heritage it’s in our blood

[@johnwaldron7490]

Hearing the haunting sound of these pipes makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, just beautiful

[@ruthparker2904]

If you've any Irish at all, the pipes will touch your soul. I love the old airs and ballads.

LMAO 😂😂😂😂

[@joerile]

Saw Ger perform this in Galway last week. Not only is he a fantastic composer and performer, but apparently he composed this piece when he was 14. Incredible

[@harryberry3620]

Man! ... what that does to a human heart is unreal.

[@michaelmckenna-hennessey6009]

I love these pipes always remind me of me Da what a legend gone 5 yrs now but not forgotten rip peace and see you 1 day again

[@52Foley]

Truly breathtaking music, that makes you smile and cry at the same time

[@hollydavis5498]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stevebirmingham9650]

Wow this is the music of the Celts and played so well, sounds like the crying of the banshee out on the burren, music like this makes me so proud to be Irish, it really tugs at the heart strings, i think there is a tear in my eyes, outstanding wonderful music thanks guys.

[@guygilron7468]

I experience this live - Trad on the Prom, September of 2019 - and it moved me to tears. This fellow knows how to tug at the heartstrings. What an amazing song, and a great arrangement!

[@Passthepencil27]

Went and listened to this as part of Trad on the Prom last weekend and sobbed my heart out. Such talent to bring so much emotion and beauty to the ear, all from an instrument.

[@gerfahy]

Clare, Thanks so much for your kind words and delighted that you enjoyed it too. Apologies for delay with reply but today is the first day I have logged on in months. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Galway. Ger

[@kevinl1717]

Nice words Clare ❤️

[@annerooney765]

I first heard this piece at Trad on the Prom in Galway. I cannot explain the gut reaction I have everytime I hear it. We have since used this piece in two of my daughters's weddings. One daughter walked down the isle to Magh Seola, the other as her first dance.

[@breifneorourke.3400]

Incredibly beautiful air and played so wonderfully reminded of my childhood growing up in Ireland my uncle playing he's bagpipe Roisin dubh forever Ireland is ingrained in my genetic code I am so proud to be Irish the greatest country on God's Earth. God bless Ireland

[@kightremin]

I'm sure this is has been played at my funeral. And that's why I'm in heaven now.

[@ragabob8543]

Listening to this in Thailand. Oh how I wish to listen to this in Ireland. Must stay and suffer the heat. Such beautiful Irish music.i shall listen to more

[@Zambezibooks]

I had the the great pleasure of seeing (and hearing!) Ger Fahy play this and then meeting him in Galway at Trad on the Prom this past summer. It's hauntingly beautiful. . . .

[@edz5972]

so beautiful this is the irish music of the soul

[@carmeldempsey1732]

Probably my favourite instrumental piece. Thank you Ger Fahy for your amazing talent.💚🙏🎶☘

[@Canuckmom128]

Sweet Mother of Pearl ! Ger - that is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard on the Uillean pipes, and you, Sir, are a true maestro - stunningly good playing. The folks who were there to see you play are lucky indeed. The Irish heritage in me was extremely moved by both the music and the artist. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦🇮🇪

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

So beautiful & this tune, takes me right back to Ireland. I love you, blessed & beautiful Eire. :-)

[@derrickmurphy9859]

An odd genius passes through the world now and again and here is such 1 genius. Amazing piece of music.

[@kevinl1717]

Amazing Musician.... unbelievable.. Different Gravy that Gerard Fahy. 🔥

[@Feroal2]

Saw this at Trad on the Prom like a lot of the lucky commenters. What a magical song. Well done, Ger!

[@gerarddonovan4145]

stunningly talented man...gorgeous music

[@TIGA]

Magnificent John. It speaks and reeks o' history and passion...the stuff of humanity itself.

[@breegemegahey4656]

Such a lovely piece, beautifully played

[@IHADEJUSTINBIEBER]

This tune and performance keep haunting me.........

[@ed1max]

Brings back so much

[@cwaltzmusic]

Next to Caoineadh Cu Chulainn composed by Bill Whelan for the Riverdance soundtrack this is my favorite pipe air. The Sun the Stream of Enya's first album played beautiful by the legendary Liam O''F'ynn and Davy Spillane's ( the original Riverdance piper ) Midnight Walker are quite stunning as well. Then there's the myriads of traditional airs. I love An Feochan, and Buaile Mhaodhog particularity. I've been playing the whistle, low whistles and Irish flute for years and should just buy a practice set. I play the Bulgarian pipes or Gaida so it might be a not as hard jump as starting from scratch.

[@markovfishskinz]

Stirs the blood of all those that can truly say they are gaels and celt.

[@martinoconnor9901]

Whow, all your comments are so so right ,always, I have a lovely cry hits the heart, Martin.

[@richardsalmon2979]

I just have to keep listening to this ... it's so beautiful ....

[@OSUSean1604]

The person who disliked this was jealous.

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Wow. Brilliant. Just lovely. Cheers. Thanks for posting

[@ricecolors]

Heard Ger play this live at the Trad on the Prom in Galway...the beauty of the Galway area that he captured in this composition brought tears to my eyes...what a gorgeous piece of music played by a master of the Uileann pipes!

[@graemerandle6010]

Was very privileged to be at opening night of Trad on the Prom 2017 and hear Ger's latest stunning composition, completed only the week before ("for Bridie"?). Words can't convey the beauty of the piece. The whole show was outstanding - without doubt the highlight of our week in Galway and amongst the best of our 3 weeks in Ireland (from NZ)

[@neilross1746]

That is so, so beautiful. An emotional tear jerker. 😢 Thank you so much.

[@gerosullivan2603]

Keep the bag pipes, these pipes have far more soul and heart.
