Paddy Maloney was such an enormous musical talent. I always think now when we hear the sky rumbling up to thunder, that it is paddy up there getting a rare old session going. What a gift this man was. Rest in Music, Paddy.

The slip jig in the middle is called "Top It Off" and on the pipes the 2nd part (verse) features a minor 7th which has a distinctive tone and increased loudness. I've played these pipes for 30 years and have made them for over 20, but duplicating the sound of this melody pipe (chanter) made by Leo Rowsome is quite a challenge, even when you can find detailed measurements of one of his original instruments. Paddy Moloney's playing technique is very complicated and as a piper I hope that there will be some who try to follow it.

[@Goetterdaemmerung86]

Although my playing is mostly influenced by Ennis, I find myself picking up some Moloney influence here and there, his piping style was truly unique as you said. Many pipers sound quite similar today, but there are some truly special pipers out there where you can instantly know who is playing. Moloney is no exception.

[@runeulriksen]

I’ve listened and studied a lot of the older pipers like Rowsome, Ennis, Clancy, Tommy Reck and Patsy Touhey, but I’m closest in style to Paddy Moloney. His way of playing is not as easy as you might think.

@@runeulriksen --And I think it's incredibly challenging!!

Loved them since I brought home a record I checked out from a public library in Atlanta. Still listen to them too! RIP, Paddy.
