Fair Dues Mikey, glad to see you on Utube. You played at my wedding in CastleConnell with Joe Noonan in 1983 - 25 years ago.

Best version of the Foxchase was by the Chieftains. Not fashionable to say this but it`s true. I saw them perform this in 1974 in Roscommon with just one mike. They took it really fast and the crowd loved it. Leo Rowsone`s version is also great. The slow air in the middle is majestic. Mickey Dunne does a very good version here. By the way, the fox has won the battle. There are more foxes than ever in Ireland. Vive Reynard!!!

Great piping from a great piper playing a great set of tunes! An old version of this first turned me onto this instrument.

Are they speaking German?

That sounds right, I've changed the title to match. Thanks Michael!

Hey... does this guy ever not talk before he plays?

[BiddyDee]

Yes

Sorry to be so picky but the Foxhunter is the name of a reel. The name of this old tune is the Foxchase as you can hear the chase, the hounds killing the Fox,etc.etc. Each portion of the tune tells a story. It's not too cool to play it now as most people in Ireland are now anti Foxhunting from the cruelty aspect.

[clarebannerman]

The first time I ever heard this tune was from the playing of the great Leo Rowsome.
