I came across John McSherry's Uilleann pipe music playlist on spotify which I'm really enjoying. A good mixture of new and old. Do you know of any other pipeing playlists worth a listen?

Re: spotify
I've seen more than a few musicians criticize spotify and other streaming services for the meagre royalties.
I'm not saying don't stream, but buying an album (digital download or CD) is a better way to support our favourite musicians.

Re: spotify
Indeed, and Spotify is quite a good way to discover artists whose CDs you might want to buy

Jeez, there's always one isn't there.

Re: spotify
I'll just say here that Johnny Doran is hard for me to listen to. I bought the 2-CD set that came out a few years ago, and I've played it a lot but I just don't enjoy it. I admire that he can play that fast, but I just don't feel the beauty in his music that I get from other musicians. There are other Traveller-style pipers that I do like to listen to (Paddy Keenan, Blackie O'Connell), but Johnny Doran is not one of them. I suppose it is still valuable to listen to pipers that are not your favourite though; could still learn something.rorybbellows wrote:Indeed, and it's also a good way to listen to pipers who are not your favorite.

Wait, am I missing something? I bought that cd a few years ago too, but mines just a single. There's only the nine or so tracks he recorded... Why would a second cd be needed?An Draighean wrote:

I agree though. I'm always impressed when I put his music on, but I can't listen to it too much at a time. Kinda best in small doses.

Re: spotify
You must be right - it's been a while, and I don't have the CD handy after loading it on my hard drive - but I only show ten tracks in itunes so it must have been a single CD.chaos97 wrote:Wait, am I missing something?

- Tell us something.: I am interested in various forms of traditional and folk music. I've been interested in Uilleann pipes for many years. And now I'm finally learning them!

I recently bought the Johnny Doran CD from Claddagh Records in Dublin (great city, definitely want to visit again), but I haven't had a chance to listen to it. Just confirming that it is one disc.An Draighean wrote:You must be right - it's been a while, and I don't have the CD handy after loading it on my hard drive - but I only show ten tracks in itunes so it must have been a single CD.chaos97 wrote:Wait, am I missing something?
