Correct. Hughes. My bad. I tried the Reed making bit and I was no good at it. I just thought someone would have experience with it. Thanks all.

Anyone in the know who could make a good reed for this chanter. Looks like they’re not in the business of uilleann pipes anymore. Thanks in advance.

Good stuff isn't it. He's a subtle sound that just carries the tune so well. Seems simple enough. But I can't copy it so strong.

Dirty Old Town, I think its Tommy Keene (?) playing pipes there, I have the dots for the tune, but its just the body of the tune. Through the tune I hear him play some lovely runs, does anyone or can someone make the dots for this. I have the feeling that it is easy, its clean and nicely done, but I...

Arbo, my brother, keep on keeping on...it's a journey mate, enjoy each bend and turn, this journey has a hell of a lot of hills, and they're almost all up...it aint a sprint buddy, it is a marathon.

WOW, man brother, that sounded lovely. That's a nice combination of sounds you have there.

They were all together brilliant. Amazing piping. Just great lads too. Chatted it up a bit with them and Deirdre. Class people. I've never heard a slow air harmonized like that before. Epic!!

Conor Lamb any relation to Eugene?
