Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows the title of the song near the end of the The Chieftains -Live Over Ireland: Water from the Well video(2000) I think it starts "I went down to Dublin Town...(something)...County Down" they are playing live in a pub. Does anyone know if this song is on any of their albums or if it could be found in a traditional song book? Thanks so much, I'm sorry for the off topic post!

Hi!
Thanks so much! It's Star of the County Down, I think it is an extra song on the videotape that can't be found on the CD. A quick uilleann pipe question, I was thinking about starting with an uilleann chanter, but I'm not sure if the plastic ones are good, they look a little like a highland bagpipe chanter but with a different top. Do most people try to start with a practice set?
Thanks so much again, I was looking for the song for ages,
Jen

Jen,
Some people have made good use of the mouth blown Uilleann practice chanter while others haven't. Unlike whistles, they don't seem to have much resale value either.
You might research an easy do-it-yourself practice set from David Daye. http://www.daye1.com/pennychanter.html

Jen- be sure to check out http://www.uilleann-pipes.de and look at the delrin (polyacetyl) practice set that Andreas Rogge makes. It is really good.
