[@TradTG4]

[@Tellemore]

One of my most cherished possessions is an autographed CD of Liam O’Flynn on pipes with Seamus Heaney, signed at Áras an Uachtaráin. RIP two Legends.

[@Skeptimystic]

A treasure indeed! 🍀

[@materdeimusicd.buckley2974]

My cherished memory is a lesson on the uilleann pipes from Liam. He was so encouraging as a teacher. The best himself, but so willing to share his skills. I don't play this beautiful instrument now, but really enjoyed it when I did.

[@johnmorrissey1675]

Liam o Flynn will we ever see his likes again sadly miss , the making of planxty

[@gloin10]

@John Morrissey "...will we ever see his likes again..."? Yes, we will see his like again. There is a slew of young, very talented, pipers coming along, and a lot of them are female. Irish music, and Irish culture in general, is flourishing. Tóg go bog é, it's in good hands.

[@Dave_Frain]

Just stellar 🖤

[@Maddie-ci7ur]

Beautiful - the cello fits so perfectly

[@johnburke3348]

The cello should be used more often in trad music

[@Acarrdi]

Arty McGlynn passed away December 2019, rest in peace.

[@Kinsale1333]

So help me out here. Who's on the pipes?

[@wow344wow]

These Uillean pipes are not the Irish war pipes

[@liamwinnettmusic3867]

What tune is the double bass playing ?

[@mariagorbunova2129]

Caisleán An Óir - and it's the cello I believe

[@TheSonnenkaefer]

Matt Molloy played with the Bothy Band from 1975 onwards. The other heroes never.

[@colindouglas7769]

Matt Molloy played with the Bothy Band, he also played with The Chieftains. Big Sean Keane played with The Chieftains. Arty McGlynn was in The Bothy Band too, I believe, and of course, the god that is Liam O'Flynn was Planxty and Moving Hearts. I'm not familiar with the chap on the cello though. You don't see the cello used anywhere enough in trad music these days. They were used extensively though in the dance bands of the 18th century.

[@TheSonnenkaefer]

@@colindouglas7769 Arty McGlynn never played with the Bothy Band and Liam never played with Moving Hearts, but that was long time ago anyway. 2 years ago I met an american cello player who played regulary at Fergus O'Flaherty's session in Dingle, but that really is not often heard. If anybody wants Bothy Band or Matt Molloy tunes written down in good quality with chords, I would pass it on as pdf.

[@conanmcdonnell7390]

Mícheál Ó Domhnaill was the guitar player with the Bothy Band, and Davy Spillane was the piper with Moving Hearts. Neil Martin was a member of Cran for several years, along with Desi Wilkinson and Sean Corcoran (RIP)

[@franceallart1385]

Magnifique!

[@TradTG4]

Oui, trés magnifique !!
