Clodagh? Orlagh? Declan? GOOD GOD. Those are some Scottish names...

LOL close Irish names

[Supermassively]

@ghleannadubh Aww, it makes me sad that I was wrong about that. I figured you were Scottish because your username contains "dubh".

So, are those names not present in Gaelic or in Scotland? They look so Scottish.

I'm glad to know the origin of the version since I'm sure people when ask me when I pull it out at session. I just love that version. You are right, I my Castagnari keeps me delightfully busy. I've only been playing box 6 months but wanted to for years so I'm in heaven. It's wonderful to have videos like yours for inspiration!

You are an amazing piper. And you are right, your pipes and Orlagh's Castagnari are a perfect blend. I'm working on learning by ear to your Concertina reel on my Catagnari and it's going very well. :-)

Thanks again! that version of the Concertina Reel, we got from a great accordion player, John McGoran (Belfast). Those Castagnari's are beautiful instruments and I'm sure it gives you loads of hours of fun!

Absolutely Brilliant! I love, love, love this! The accordion and pipes are perfect together.

Thanks for the kind words Dr Jill, chanter needing new reed, playing a little shrill. Orlagh's Castagnari blends beautifully!
