Post by ChristianRo »

Now that's some good news! Piping master Brian McNamara has produced a new CD and, for this occasion, obviously, updated his website! CD out in December.

Mmh... has anybody bought the album? I am a bit confused whether it is a new recording or if it contains tracks from previous releases, e. g. Sile NiGhrada (from Leitrim's Hidden Treasures).

I have the new CD and it is solo Piping throughout so I assume the tracks are all newly recorded.

Indeed he does. Ray MacNamara who played on the "Leitrim's Hidden Treasures" CD with the rest of Brian's Family.

Brian McNamara writes on the website that he is playing two sets of pipes on the new CD. One is a C set by Geoff Wooff in 1997 that he plays together with a C chanter by Benedict Koehler made in 2016. I wonder why he favours the Koehler C chanter, instead of the original Wooff C chanter that came with set? The hole spacing must be the same, prehaps it is the tonal qualities, different reeds? My own Wooff C chanter has a great tone. I wouldn't change it. Fine piping on the CD.
