That was just awesome. I’ve often noticed the regulators while listening to and watching uilleann pipes being played but that’s the first time I ever heard someone explain that part in the instrument. It all becomes clear as he kicks them in at the end of this video. For all that’s going on with that instrument he’d probably be a natural flying a helicopter.

It's simple. All you have to do is control the chanter with the fingers of both your hands, the bellows with your arm, the bag with your other arm, the regulators with the side of your hand, and the end of the chanter wih your knee. Drones play all alone, and you have your mouth free in case you want to play some harmonica along.

My wife and I were in Doolin one night on an Ireland vacation. Just happened to catch a Trad session at Mcganns Pub. Blackie played there that night. Wow those pipes were smoking. I will never forget that evening. Amazing!

@shreddemon3113 : I have the first brief little demo tune as The Silver Spear, and on the big set I have them as Gorman's Reel, The Merry Sisters of Fate, The Mountain Top, and The (Poor) Scholar. Mighty stuff, Blackie! :)

Had the great, good fortune to see Blackie & Cyril O'Donoghue in Lac Brome (Knowlton), Quebec during the International Celtic Festival last night. Absolutely fantastic! They were joined later by two local musicians, Pascal Gemme & Nicolas Williams of Genticorum (who we were actually there to see so we had no idea of the treat that was awaiting us in Blackie & Cyril's playing). The magic just grew exponentially! Wow! Four extremely talented musicians! I'd never heard the Irish pipes live before. Thrilling!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of listening to Blackie, Daoiri Farrell and Robbie Walsh doing a set at the Cambridge Folk Festival last weekend in front of 14,000 others. The lads simply blew them away! I was so proud to be there as an Irishman: hairs standing on the back of my neck! And my wife was so proud of her Kilmaley, Co. Clare roots,too!

The chanter clearly sounds like wide bore D. But maybe you're hearing the drone sound as above many modern concert D's in tone quality and stability.

Excellent piping. (pity about the racket on the non bodrhan sounding bodhran) That top end style has no place in serious live traditional music. I can just imagine what Colm Murphy would have sounded like.
@mossiegee46744 жыл бұрын
Colm would have sat back and admired John Joe as the finest Bodhrán player that ever lived....and there is no such thing as top end style you moron and even then he was mostly playing double end style
