"The pipering of Willie Clancy" vols. 1 and 2 contain some very nice tracks in B. Also "Hives of Honeyed Sound" by Padraig MacMathuna.

Many of Liam O'Flynn's CDs include recordings on B sets. Also, get The Drones and the Chanters, both volumes I and II contain B sets.

Bb sets are more rare. Mick O'Brien plays both B and Bb sets on the Kitty Lie Over CD.

Blas Na Meala - Pádraic Mac Mathúna

I second that.
It is one of my favourite albums, but it may be difficult to obtain now.

I saw some clips with Eliot playing a B set but I thought that Up Against the Flatirons used exclusively a D set (against the Flat ones :oops: )

Just the opposite. The whole album is played on a B full set by Andreas Rogge. Up Against the Flatirons was the best new piping album of 2007, and certainly Elliot's personal best IMHO.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.
