[SubbaSimmal]

how can i get the sheet music of this songs (for uilleann pipes)

very nice playing!

cheers!!

[SubbaSimmal]

why is zack leger playing a full-set in all his other vids and plays a 3/4 set in this one??

[Legertymusic]

@SubbaSimmal,

All the piping videos up so far are of the Lynch/Britton 3/4 set I played for over 10 years and sold last year. I never owned a full set until about a month ago. I currently have Benson & Cornelius custom full set which I will be showing off here very soon:) Cheers!

[SubbaSimmal]

@Legertymusic Oh, sorry!

[thedicebreen]

haha at 1:11 the box and guitar players are like "wtf is he doing!!!" haha

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

Your playing is very nice... greetings from italy!

[irishfiddle]

You did very nicely. Well done lads.

[Legertymusic]

Thanks! Just a bit of informal craic, but we had fun.

[vaidegaitas]

[BehorWindpipe]

[mickwor1111]

[diarmaidok]

[brianmsdk]

Once again a great video. Just learned the first tune by watching it! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[14752147521]

2:57. CAN'T U C WERE PLAYING HERE lol

[mickwor1111]

Hey Mj , great playin as usual , greetings from Shannon !!!!!

[Sutor1234]

it's Derrane's jig, played very nicely. I'm assuming the box is in C#/D? Nice video

[Legertymusic]

It is indeed a C#/D; a refurbished Honer Erica. Joe Derrane plays that jig, although I believe he and others call it "Hardiman's Fancy". Thanks for the kind comment.

Zac

[SpiritualSuicides]

She must be a dancer.. she is ripped. Looks like she is stronger than most of you lads.. haha

[Legertymusic]

No doubt!

[tonyphantom]

this is great. keep up the good work.. question: is it hard to play jigs?

[Legertymusic]

only if you don't know the tune!

[Legertymusic]

That would be the lovely Rachael Harris, a great Irish dancer.

[TheBrothels]

That first tune sounds vaguely like the Kesh Jig.

Good job.

[Legertymusic]

Thanks!

[kingofcelts]

Irish music when can be a bit like the equivialent of dance or rave, except it's traditional. And it's a type of music people from anywhere in the world can relate to.. It's just great fun..

[globemc2]

Agreed. I'm not a fan for country or bluegrass but Irish genre's really make me happy and like king said, I really think it can relate to a lot of people. Just gets everyone in a cheery mood =D Great job guys!

[astrigal]

Lots of fun!

[reelin1]

You make it hard to sit at a computer and listen--I must dance.

[Serge808]

killer guys nice one

[whitewizzardreturns]

Oh I should have mentioned I am in the States.

[animalextim]

the first jig is called Hardiman's or Hardleman's Fancy, popularized by fiddlers Eugene o'Donnell and Brendan Mulvihill, on their respective solo albums, both on Green Linnet, Eugene's being accompanied by Mick Moloney on Bouzouki, Guitar, and Mandolin, called Slow Airs and Set Dances, #1015, released 1978 on Green Linnet Records. The second Brendan's album, called the Flax in Bloom, coincidentally accompanied by Mick Moloney on the aforementioned instruments in 1979,#1020, also on Green Linnet

[MikeBatten]

your all spot on!

wicked job by's!

[StanMcLarsen]

Patrick Street --- eat your heart out.

[Legertymusic]

Hehe, not sure about that, but thanks!

Zac

[bagpipeplayer]

I'm pretty sure the first tune is called Joe Derrane's

[Legertymusic]

My guess is Joe probably plays it a lot, but I believe it is older than he is!:)

[ElPeanus]

You rock!

[tony1orourke]

I'd like to hear MJ play a couple of tunes,one in particular being "The hag at the churn", he plays that tune particularly well.

[Legertymusic]

I'd love to get more video of MJ. He's brilliant! Unfortunately I am in the states and he's in back in Ireland. Do you know him?

[DanCeekey]

Great stuff! Wonderful how these three instruments sound so well together.

[Legertymusic]

Yeah, I'd say pipes and accordion with a good accompanist are possibly my favorite trad combo.

Zac

[whitewizzardreturns]

I have to agree with that. That music makes me want to get up and dance. Well done lads.

[whitewizzardreturns]

I am interested in learning how to play the pipes. Does anyone know where I can buy a good half set?

[woulfghar]

You guys are great! Keep it up! One question for the piper Zac Leger, how much did you pay for your pipes and do you know where I can buy a set that is no too pricy? Thank you guys and good job!!!

[kragblue8]

[PhalainaBelgium]

Excellent ! Phalaina

[billythehobbit]

I really loved the look you guys got from that gal who stumbled upon a jam session! Good stuff, I need to do something like this.

[Legertymusic]

I think the look was that she noticed we were filming the session and she realized she was now on tape;)

[MikeBatten]

You Guys are Deadly!!

[consairtin]

[OztarAntoine]

Awsome clip !

[MatthewFromTh3Hills]

Great stuff!!

[bbfrain]

Nice blending. Truthfully, I'm not a great fan of the pipes, but they sound lovely mixed in with the other two instruments. Good transitions and choice of jigs.

[Legertymusic]

You don't like the pipes but you DO like the accordion?! What?! Ha ha, just kidding;) Thanks for the comment, glad everyone is enjoying the tunes! -Zac

[BardofCornwall]

Great stuff, with a nice casual feel. Reminds me a little of Danu's or Lunasa's type of arrangement.

[philvar]

Hi Zac, nice playing you guys. If you haven't gotten it already, the name of the first jig is "Hardiman's Fancy." It was recorded by Joe Derrane back in 1949 or so, and more recently by De Danann. I've always thought it sounded like a clever take on "The Banks of Lough Gowna."

[Legertymusic]

Yeah, I know several older players that like to pair "Hardiman's" with Lough Gowna. Seems to work well.

[Dreoilin]

Whos the Sionnach that comes & hits the jacks while yer playen, FFS you lads get all the fine birds?

[Dreoilin]

Dia dhuit, that was brilliant, so whens the cd comin out ;) Slán agus beannacht leat!

[Kronedaddy]

Hey Zac where's yer accent? Other lads have one, where's yours? Fine playin, I like that Hardiman's too. My new fav is Robbie Hannon's.

Timmy

[Rickupinoft]

Oh definitley. I like to play it on mandolin. There's a great "lilt" off it.

[Rickupinoft]

Keep her lit boys! The first tune is one I learned a few weeks ago from Angelina Carberry's album An Tradisiun Beo. It's called Hardiman's Fancy. Certainly one of my favourite jigs.

[Legertymusic]

Thanks, Paddy! Yeah, it's a gorgeous tune, isn't it? Cheers!

[MartinDonohoe]

Sounding well ,greetings from Cavan

[chade2112]
