If anyone has it, I'd really love to hear "Free and Easy" and "The Gale" again. I heard them years ago on the Thistle and Shamrock radio show, and I used to have them on cassette tape. If anyone cares to upload them, it'd be great!
Had the pleasure of seeing this live many years ago at Mandela Hall at Queens in Belfast. The first act was Davey's Granuelle suite. Mind blowing. Met Liam after a Planxty concert. True modest gentleman with immense talent.
an orchestra i played in (the C.Y.O) played this piece for our tour to italy a few years ago. its some tune!!! especially live. it didnt get boring even after rehearsing it about a hundred times. :)
I too have the vinyl. Would love to have seen this live. Stunningly beautiful. Wonderful to see a "folk" instrument holding its own with an orchestra.
do any of you idiots actually know anything about this peice of music,? NO i guess not, so wind your necks in and piss off and insult someone elses music your opinion is not welcome here thankyou.
Seriously all info would be sourced from the early Church of Ireland or Culdee Monks, they were the ones who set out in boats trusting their fate to God, they settled on the Northern Isles, Faroes and Greenland at least in summer months, seems likely to me the Norse who followed in their footsteps, might have learned of North America and the Brendan Voyage while looting and burning irish monasteries, but that's just my observation. And the Basques fished the Canadian Maritimes before Columbus.
Here is a bit of usless information, That piece of music is 45 minuets long and imagine a normal piper only plays 3 to 4 min tunes at a time, Liam must also have been super human to play like this at the end. Just shows how great is.
Thank you for this wonderful clip and also the information. I've totally fallen for Uileann pipes and Liam O'Flynn is a master musician indeed... Once more I envy you Irish for your rich, powerful music and incredible music makers!
I love the uileann pipes...not crazy about classical music but i have to say...together...they sound amazing. Must buy this album. Liam O'Flynn, you're a credit to our country.
this was the first record i ever knew as a child and have had it on tape for years,i have never met a person yet who has ever heard of it!its the best in the world and my greatest memories of my family.thanks xxx
Thank you for this clip. I have had the tape for years. The Gaelic rock group RunRig used it as the intro to their concerts a couple of times. Great music. *****
