1 person is deaf.

Mick - A pure Genius!.. Listen to Micks version of Raglan Road on "The Ancient Voice Of Ireland" CD. I would

put it on par with Luke Kellys. Thanks for the CD I will treasure it

[lorcanb7]

This is probably the best piping clip on the web. Savage. Cant wait to get a full set!

[TheScottypom]

Absolutely brilliant, Thank you for posting this.It really reaches into my soul

[anniemcu]

Wonderful stuff! Thanks for posting this!

[MrJohnered]

Genius

[Energiemeisterin]

Wonderful.. and loads of goosebumps *g*

[cuilldubh]

The uileann pipes do'nt need any assistance from any other instrument and are at their best on their own.

[boxplayer2]

@cuilldubh

i agree.....i find that the fiddle is the best to pair them with. a box sometimes even works well i think

[pooppooppee123]

I love at around 1:11, when the door, wall, and woman make the flag. Her dress should really be gold, but its interestin all the same

[lorcanb7]

@pooppooppee123 No, orange is right!! :P

[arfer]

Great pipe sound.

[sacredsong]

[GARYF1985]

makes me proud to be irish when we have musicans like this to proudly play and do such a great job of our music

[piobairesicago]

@GARYF1985

Makes me proud to play the pipes and to have met such a fine musician and tradition bearer, and to be a tradition bearer too.

[unionfallen]

"wrong" notes sound so incredible and erie on uilleann pipes

[nellir]

super haunting sound

[boxplayer2]

i love this air on the pipes. has such a sweet sound to it.

[basis64]

[JFK76LANGER]

[basis64]

thanks man

[jhohlkennedy]

Brilliant playing, Mick. Nice selection of tunes, freisin; go raibh maith agatsa!

[gearoiddom]

I have a big soft spot for this instrument. Thanks for making this.

[finnhere2]

This was great even for the foreign ear. And nice video indeed!

[Duckshit90]

I believe he plays the most beautiful cran! What a piper!! Great player

[JAZEleal]

This is superb1

[seanearnest]

Really evocative "Greenfields of Canada" and an interesting second part to "Sporting Nell". Mr. O'Brien's use of the regs is truly masterful

[queenievenus]

This is a wonderful sound ,primeval, ethereal, haunting, played so well by yourself . Reminds me of my Father who played the Uilleann pipes not as well, but enough to instill in me a love for the pipes ,which he also had.

[Bodhi89]

Do you play then?

[orbcon]

excellent, i'm not a huge fan of traditional stuff but must say the pure skill is incredible!!! hats off to the lad, very very impressive :D

[sacredsong]

not a fan of trad?!

is there really such a thing!?

[AnPiobaireSicago]

Yes, unfortunately. Loads of irish people hate their own traditional music, preferring pop or country or just about anything to diddley music. It's complicated.

[Bodhi89]

Im the opposite.

Im not to keen on that new age piping.

[piobairesicago]

Good on you, I'm not keen on it either. Love the real stuff, warts and all.

[NRamirezCR]

I love uilleann pipes... definitively...

[kpsicologo]

Mick O Brien is my preferred piper. His Album Ancient Voice of Ireland filled wit airs is the most beautiful thing I ever heard. It´s always a privilege to see him playing.

[papigil]

Great !!!.

[wwaberkiddy]

simply brilliant!

[Wishuey]

We went to a small "bagpipe concert" with eight or ten pipers in Baltimore, USA about ten years ago. All were impressive but then Mick sat down and played his "May Morning Dew"/ "Sporting Nell" set. I don`t think any of us there had ever heard anything remotely like it and I`m not sure I have since. What an astonishing talent! Thanks for posting this.

[DesiBhoy1]

Great piping......thanks for posting

[shankandbrisket]

MO is awesome. Thanks for posting.

[adri667]

Amazing and beautiful. Notice the background how they put together a green door, a white wall and a lady dressed in orange.... wanderful.

[andrewaaaaaaaa]

Nice uilleann pipe tunes.Thanks for the post.

Slow airs are great on the pipes.Brilliant.

[pearse93]

who made his uilleann pipes they are amazing

[clarebannerman]

His Pipes were made by William Rowsome in 1921.

[BanjoPariah]

Wait, how is he playing this without air?............IT'S WITCHCRAFT!...WITCH!....WITCH! :~D I love bagpipe music. It all started with Rowdy Rody Piper :)

[deldrn]

awesome video thanks for sharing with every one

[ArtistIreland]

Very well played. Thank you :)
