The uileann pipes are the hardest instrument in the world to play! It's like tryinto play the flute and tinwhistle at the same time while at the same time moving your elbow in and out! Impossible!
Lol,i know what the person below is on about,saw him life once he sat there not even breaking a hint of sweat ,was like he was just waiting for a buss!! Increadable talent,Brlliant
@colinandkellie Sin ceart, go cinnte! He's a great lad, brilliant musician, and it's fun to play tunes with him. He was teaching the pipes at our music school, we had great sessions.. He and Dónal O'Connor accompanied me on the bodhrán for the teacher concert. Such precision and feeling.. brilliant! Never had so much fun playing the bodhrán. :)
That would be the one. Not that I'm any good with gaelic, but I've heard him play it under the name "The Dark Slender Boy". And at least if I remember correctly "Buachaill" means lad or boy and Dubh means dark or black, right?
One of the reasons I so much more enjoy recent stuff than the older (Willie Clancy and those guys). They just didn't care as much about being in tune. Technically they rock, but sometimes they hit the regulators and it sounds like a traffic jam...
Liam can play this and drive a tractor at the same time.

4:00 Hot piping, causing fires telling by the smoke, must be a queer sort of wood in the stage. Lol.
Great bit of music, loved him with Planxty.

@khasab: what makes you think that? If they could have made them as sweetly sounding as this, I'm pretty sure they would have.

The Irish say they gave the bag-pipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots never got the joke. This proves it!

I can't understand how Liam manages to play this, AND look like he's calmly waiting for his toast to pop up.
Séamus Ennis, John McSherry, Liam O'Flynn. They all know something that we don't.

I believe it is called "An Buachaill Caol Dubh". However, I may be wrong.

It's so refreshing to hear some reasonably in-tune regulators. It ruins what could be a great piece of music when they're out.
