Get it straight away, everyone (no, I haven't heard it yet, but even so...).

From a linguistic point of view not necessarily, it could be any time after 'the coming months', but in practice, given the way deadlines generally slip back, we're probably talking about some time in the second half of the year.

Me too, said the dog. Maybe we are going to hear some tunes from Brian Mcnamaras Quinn and Koehler set on the new cd.

Excellent news-Brian's album 'A Piper's dream' is one of my favourites-I love the clarity of his playing.
The new one will definately be joining the collection upon it's release.

We will, but it's Koehler and Quinn. BK plays on a few tracks, as well.

Now.....if we could only convince BK to cut a CD and have Brian play on a few tracks!

Amen to that! I want 90% of the tracks to include a slow air on flat pipes as well. I have a tape of him doing airs in the stairwell at Elkins WV with his D 3/4 set.

I get chills up my spines just imagining him on a flat set.....

Me want!

Oddly enough for a piper at the meticulous end of the style spectrum, Brian says that he thinks that concert pitch suits his style of playing better than flat.

(......... any obs., Peter?

I'm sitting here listening to him play his flat set, hoping he remains flat, or flatter yet.

Hey, I thought he said we wouldn't need to get it after we went to the SoCal tionol concert, ha ha.

I agree with everyone else, his playing is to die for (on both the C and the D sets...both beautiful in their own way.) I'm really looking forward to getting the new CD...

In a review on a pipers dream, Don Meade of the Irish Voice says""

In contrast to the fast-and-furious "open" piping favored by such popular players as Paddy Keenan, Finbar Furey and John McSherry, Brian prefers a less turbo-charged style that is closer to the kind of piping heard in Leitrim long ago. Speed is cheaply impressive, but seasoned listeners will appreciate Brian's perfect intonation, beautiful chordal accompaniment on the "regulators" and deftly fingered staccato triplets. He also gives old-time flavor to many selections by playing low-pitched pipes without the shrillness that often afflicts modern concert-pitch sets.
