Och Susi, I'm only miming, sure didn't I take the batteries out of my Fiddle before we started that tune! :-)

This is great music. Love the pipes with the fiddle.

[Ptarmi]

Thanks Jack, round & Clare, I'm glad you enjoyed the music. Yes, I always think there is something special going on, when you hear Fiddle & Flat Pipes.

[JohnMcPhersonStrutt]

Many thanks Christie and Dick for posting this. I'm delighted that it's here.

[JackdawGirl]

Wonderful video, I love the fiddle and uilleann pipes together, I think there is nothing that sounds better, thanks for sharing this.

[joetighe]

love the music...great technique...please post more.

[Ptarmi]

Glad you enjoyed the music Joe, but you'll need to ask "JohnMcPhersonStrutt" for more of his musical magic, you see, he was the musical magician on this video. He is one great Piper.

[Ptarmi]

The bar is the Smuggler's Inn & the regular session is on a Saturday night.

[diarmaidok]

thats mad, i wouldn't have imagined much trad music beyond colraine, its mad how polarised the troubles have made the place! ceilidhs in orange halls? thats mental!! practically goes the whole ethos of the orange order! whats the bar with the sessions, i might go there next time i bring friends on the whiskey tour,

[Ptarmi]

Diarmaidok - Session only occurs in one bar, which is actually situated just outside the village, but as well as Fiddles & Harp & Irish Ballads, we regularly have Flute & Fife players join us for tunes. In this area, most ceilis pre the troubles actually took place in many of the local Orange Halls!

[MarkHarmer]

Very nice! - I like the video quality too...

[Ptarmi]

It was held in Bushmills, Co Antrim, in 2005, on the Causeway Coast by the Giant's Causeway & the Bushmills Distillery.

[diarmaidok]

jeez surprised they didn't get stoned to death for playing irish music round bushmills, the whiskeys about the only irish thing left round there! not a goo place round marchin season!!!

[Ptarmi]

Hi diarmaidok, yes, Bushmills has its history of problems, but although there is a hard line element there, like most places in 'the North', there are also a lot of good tolerant people there & it might surprise you to know that I've run a Ballad session there for the past 8 years.

By the way, that Whiskey you mentioned is not Irish any more, it's French!

[diarmaidok]

it was fine there until 1607! so they stole the distillery from the o'cathains and then sold it on to the french...is it bushmills french whiskey now? ;) that is surprising about the sessions, is there bars where irish music is played?

[Ptarmi]

It has recently been sold by the French group to the 'Diageo' group which includes Guinness. The first thing they did was to dissolve & dispose of all the 'Bushmills Cream' as this competes with the Guinness drink - Baileys!

[Ptarmi]

Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I should have named the tune too!
