great playing guys ,I have played tenor with uilleann pipes for the past ten years and unless you play these instruments and understand their complex requirements you are never in a position to judge others .Loved your set and if you ever venture into scotland please get in touch . We could find out how far 2 banjos and 2 uilleann pipes could get out of tune lol .Just think some of of the comments here are unfair and probably written by people who have no idea how complex these instruments are

Thank you very much for your comments - t'is much appreciated! And thanks for the offer of a tune up in Scotland. We do keep threatening to come up there one year instead of our usual jaunt to Ireland but are a bit unsure as to where to go? The guy who plays fiddle with us is from Kirkaldy so Fifes always a possibility??

Banjos are rarly in or out

of tune with themselves. Uillean pipes the same.

Such lovely playing - it's a shame you guys weren't in tune with each other.
