Irish love song "An Ciarraíoch Mallaithe"

[bulkspin]

I love these irish "pipes" - so superior to the Scottish ones - the bag pipes are really only half acceptable when the play for a very short time at a funeral. On the other hand, the "Irish Pipes" can be listened to and enjoyed any time. This is my opinion, I only became aware of these "Pipes" when I researched the Ross Wedding (Friends TV Show) music, which was way too short and there were very little clues to go by as far as the instruments being played.

[FunkadubeDu]

master at work once again... simply amazing stuff

[BruteHunter259]

Is ea

[Sigfrido1986]

Éireann go brách!

[Lisnageeragh]

This is a stunning performance ...lovely diatonic ornamentation which few would imagine and fewer still execute so well.

[shannonwaterking]

not to learn...got to be irish. sad about I´m not...

[StephanieAGudeman]

Well played .. sure wish I could do that ...

[Ubu987]

Here's something unusual - a perfectionist achieving perfection. This is stunning.

[gaeilgesinger]

Lordy, be---He makes look SOOOOOO Easy.

What beautiful music!!!!

[locomotive1804]

Is he related to Tommy Peoples? He certainly looks like him......

[suburbanindie]

That was brilliant! Cheers!

[jrs1675]

I just love to see the tradition carried on amomg the populace, common-folk and the big names...trulu beautiful regardless of origin.

[BLStatted]

Absolutely beautiful! <3

[robmiller100]

The pipes dont belong to any nationality except if you believe in those politically artificially constructed in and around the 1700's. This paying is excellent indeed

[DavidMcBride1]

I love that music, from a distance or from close by,,

I think it is very hard to play that instrument.

Thanks for sharing

[Dezmau]

What amazing sounds..! Where can we see Mickey perform here in Ireland? I'm an instant fan!

[boatpiper]

I had the privilege of attending a workshop with Mickey. He is such a pleasant man. He taught a wonderful workshop that truly filled me with inspiration. He told stories of his dad and treated us to tidbits that would naught to be found elsewhere.

[Azeron1]

amazing..

[AyeYirMa]

it's weird how similar, and yet beautifully different and better the uileann pipes sound from the scottish bagpipes.

they such a more, soulful sound. if you love being irish, you know the feeling that wells up when you hear the best irish music (:

[confuser69]

You know those big pipes that stick out of the top of Bagpipes? Those are called drones.. they play only in a single key without variation. If you notice, bagpipe music tires the ear after a little while.. It's a national music with it's roots in battles and revolutions and such.. limited fun value. The Uilleann pipes have the capacity to play simple chords with the wrist by pressing levers which gives it  many more possibilities for melody. It's not a very old instrument.

[MegaPyper]

I play both pipes and love them both. It is all a matter of personal likes or dislikes. Some uilleann piper don't use the regulators or prefer the sound of the b flat chanter to the d chanter. The highland pipes are a great instrument and tons o' fun also a very serious instrument.

 If you hear a live pipe tuned and played well It never gets old. I love them both :)

[AyeYirMa]

i wasn't putting down the bagpipes lol and i'm not an expert on the mechanics of either of them i was just noticing the differences, if you're scottish i didn't mean to offend you

[confuser69]

I was actually agreeing with you! LOL.. I suppose when you try to rate something for how beautiful it is, it becomes purely subjective wouldn't you agree? For me, the uilleann pipes win hands down for melody because of the capacity for chords. I like to hear this at a pub for sure. But have you ever noticed how eerie and strangely beatufiul bagpipe music is when you start to walk away form it and it falls off into the distance? It tugs at your heart stings like nothing else. Makes you proud.

[kingwoodmetalist]

ay every video i see of this music is full of americans and europeans fighting over politics and history and god forsaken shit, what ever happened to being able to put aside different views and oppinions and join together in beautiful music? It don't matter if you're american, irish, scottish, english, french, or even chinese, good music is good music so rejoice and be thankful it's even still alive and shared around the world!

[MrKissmeimirish]

where u from? america or europe? im from america but me grandfather was born in ireland. and i love irish music and i love europe

[kingwoodmetalist]

@MrKissmeimirish i'm american but half scotts by blood, grew up listening to irish and scottish music. I'm plannin on spending some time backpacking across scotland before i get out of college with just some clothes and my fiddle

[MegaPyper]

[Irelandhasmyheart]

[jillyhawk]

[CELTICCASS]

Beautiful song...beautifully played! Cheers!!

[bluudygreg]

Who'd have thunk that a cursed man from Kerry and a blind man from North Meath would incite such immigrant fallacies. Oh well, ignorance does, as ignorance is I suppose...

[preacain]

[TwCAngel]

i like this music because even though im amercian you couldn't tell because i sound irish and look it too. i <3 my history!

[tonybolger47]

George Bush got to be president by winning a colouring compition for two year olds, even then the dumb bastard had to cheat. Just goes to show the intelligence of your country.. Red neck hicks and ignorant gobshites... America is a country of assholes and are PRrrrrettttyyyyyy much hated throughout the world, how do YOU LIKE THEM APPLES !!!!!

[tonybolger47]

Pal how bout this for background... I LIVED in the damn country... I was surrounded by idiots whos "world view" runs as far as california... Cowboys and guns is all your about, super power, idiot, what about hiroshima??? Innocent women and children??? Invaison in Iraq??? Yeah sum super power alright, more like masters of Genocide.. modren day invadors under a capitolist flag.. Grow up and get out and see some of the real world and Americas effect on it then come back and talk to me....

[Zorro1018]

You really are a sad case of clueless, hateful ignorance. However, no matter where *you* happen to be from, I am at least intelligent enough not to judge an entire nation based upon one asshat's stupid remarks.

No nation on earth has a squeaky-clean history. So, kindly stop drinking the haterade. You have a lot to learn about the American people and what we *really* think.

Cheers. And, IRISH PRIDE.

[RIKTZZ]

FUCK THE USA

Eire wants nothing to do with fucking americans

Up the ra

[qsdftfdsq]

[avalonapple]

Plenty of American dollars crossed the Atlantic...you jerk.

[avalonapple]

This comment is in reference to a juvenile remark made by RIKTZZZ..or whatever it's name is.

[sonnydukes]

what a dumb thing to say... it was mostly american money, that supported your IRA, and its cause...if america is soo hated, why did most of the real irish move here back in the 1850's to early 1900's?? where they redneck want-a-bee's.... i am a proud irish redneck....

[BiddyDee]

Good God, but you're all getting very excited altogether... Love this air!

[preacain]

Whats goin on here? hoped to hear music that made me glad to have ears then I read all these messages that have nothing to do with the music all these arguments such beautyfull music going to waste

[thingdangle2]

IDk what all you people b-4 me r talkin bout' but my great^10 uncle was a Irish king. I guess thats one reason why I enjoy this music. But one other is the music is just so beautiful.

[FrancesGeraldine]

[argel8220]

[benitogallego]

Que te den a ti y a tu muralla, caraculo.

[argel8220]

you are a nazi, your country is bad nation, the native american indians was killed, the inmigrates are killed, my country was wounded by the Manifest Destiny made by your country.and want a wall you are sick and fucker racist of crap

[resto776]

i'm actually part choctaw/cherokee and my white ancestors arrived after the civil war. why don't you just name off every country that has been conquered by another and make a list of reparations. and by the way, mexico doesnt suck because of america...it sucks because your government is corrupt and doesnt put its people's interests before its own

[resto776]

by the way more american citizens are killed by illegal immigrants than vice versa mainly due to gang violence

[thingdangle2]

I dont like america but I love Texas so leave it alone. (but you can still say bad things about america. I want to live in London so say whatever you want about America.
