This is from 2010, but it looks it wasn't ever posted here.
Barbara Allen and two reels, played on Uilleann pipes by multi-instrumentalist and pipemaker John Pedersen, who runs the Amazing Grace Music store in San Anselmo, California.

Though he has been making pipes for a few decades, his name always seems to slip through the cracks in discussions of pipemakers.
I met him earlier this year at his store when I was in the area, and discussed options for new pipes. He's quite an an interesting fellow. He said he doesn't play the pipes as much as he used to due to shoulder pain in recent years.
A lady brought in a fiddle that she was having a bit of trouble with, so he picked it up to test out, and absolutely went to town on it. She said something like, "Well, the problem must be my playing and not the fiddle!"

Re: THE GREAT UILLEANN YOU-TUBE THREAD.
According to the description on this other video of Pat Connery playing "Easter Snow" (audio not so great, unfortunately; it seems it was recorded on a phone from some distance away), yes, it is a Geoff Wooff set. It's described as "a set of pipes made by Geoff Wooff - exact copy of a set by Denis Harrington who exhibited at The Cork Exhibition 1956."PadraigB wrote:Is that a set by Geoff Wooff?RenaissanceGuy wrote:Patricia Connery busking in Glendalough, County Wicklow; explaining the instrument and then playing "Táimse im' Chodladh."

Highland piper Tress Maksimuk aka Dark Isle Bagpiper has been learning UP from Patrick D'Arcy.
The other day she posted this video of "Eagle's Whistle" (a tune also known by several other titles, as is common in ITM) played on a Daye half set:

Sorry, no English subtitles, but very nice visuals (and piping).
