Beautiful and enchanting

To play this well it also requires an understanding of the tradition as he expresses his inner thoughts regarding this beautiful air. Sean is also descended from a long line of pipers, originally from Co. Wexford, that brought their music to Dublin generations ago. The great Dublin fiddle player Tommy Potts was his uncle and Sean Og Potts , Sean's son is a brilliant well known piper.

My dear friend and old neighbour from Drimnagh, Dublin playing with the care and sincerity that also describes the man himself.

I do like Sean Potts' playing. I keep trying to play in a similar way, but it's very complicated, much more than playing fast.

Also, the peace of his playing is awsome, and I think that this is the real target of all whistle players (my target, at least).
