Why did he not listen to the clip before putting it on facebook or is somebody deliberately trying to sabotage his reputation .

I'm surprised I have to explain ,or is it just me. Its grand until he brings in the regs and to my ears it goes down hill big time. He's out of tune by miles !
I've listened a few times now to be sure , but actually find it painful. Sorry to be harsh but just my opinion.

I'm with Rory here. In the hands of a more accomplished player, the set would shine better. Hopefully.

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Oh, Brad can play alright. No worries there. I wonder if the original chanter was even in tune, or if it had been messed with over time. Check out Preston Howard's Angus set sometime if you want to hear a killer, in-tune set of pipes.

Yup, Preston is an excellent piper and has two of Brad's set. I have a sibling set of one of Preston's, and it's an amazing set of pipes. Brad is a master at the craft.
Life is good.
