So awesome. I know that there are many great pipers but Cillian Vallely has to be included in the conversation. Got to hear him play this at the Dublin Irish festival last year. It was spell binding.

Another beautiful song to learn on my low whistle.

Lovely version, thanks for posting.

Did Lunasa release this on a CD? If not, has anybody else?

[Albertson9]

Very well done. Tears flowing...

Thanks very much for uploading this, I haven't enjoyed a piece played on the Uillean Pipes so much since I saw James O'Grady backing Cara Dillon last year.

The well respected West Cork based photographer Con Kellehar advised me

Quote

That air which is called.."Port na Bpucai" comes from the Blasket Islands and is a piece that was inspired by the sound of the whales which the island fishermen used to hear when out on their curraghs.
