To Willie McCallum: thanks for allowing me to film your terrific recital. I especially enjoyed these Gaelic airs: they reminded me of Calum Kennedy's singing. Bob Ash (Surrey)
First air is "mo nighfan dunn ne neall shuilean" (I have a record of Calum Kennedy singing it, but might be something completely different as a pipe tune though!) The others I don't know, but I have Willie's address, so I'll write and ask him. I'll post the names, if I get a reply!
Hi again! I've had a reply from Willie: he confirms the name of the first tune as "Mo Nighean Donn", the second as "Oran Eirisgeidh" and the third as "My Joy, My Love, My Treasure"
One of the best pipers ever, bar none.

I wouldn't mind betting Willie just brought his trusty old Naill chanter to the MacAllum workshop and said 'here, make this'.
Nice playing. Pipes sound a little dull (pitch-wise) for me, but harmonic and accurate all the same. :-)

Once again...you've got to love the tone of that McC2 chanter.

It's not an MC2 chanter, IIRC, it was a Naill.

Oh...nevermind then. To me, an older Naill and the McC2 sound virtually identical. The newer Naills, on the other hand, I think are just too shrill.
