Hmmm... Other than Irish Music I listen to mainly...

U2 (still Irish, but not Trad)
90's rock bands like:
Rage Against the Machine
Silverchair
The Vines

Also a bit of Chill Out/Dance

And what ever crazy stuff Triple J comes up with on the radio.

First tune would have been the Dublin Reel, as it was my favourite tune at the time. First jig was Father O'Flynn.

Yeah. Dicky is great!
I think his playing is more Ennis than Ennis was!

I rekon you cant go wrong with the "Drones and Chanter" Vol 1 & 2.
Different styles of piping from different generations

The piper was Eric Rigler. He's been on heaps of soundtracks including Titanic.
He's also performed on movie soundtracks on the Highland pipes.
