The low Level (hornpipe) from Brian MacNamara and looking for some music for Flood's that Brian plays after the low Level on his family album. Also Humours of Kiltyclogher (jig) from Liam O'Flynn album.

Fill us in on what chewn your working on and what drew you to it.

To kick things off - I'm working on "The Four Courts" played by Tommy Martin off The Cobblestones CD

Patrick.
That's a nice recording...nice regs on that one.

I learned the South West Wind, too, recently (I forget who was working on that one) off of a recording I made from Willie Week last summer of Jimmy O'Brien Moran. I love that triplet on the A...

I am planning on learning everything on the Ronan Browne/ Peadar OLoughlin cds, cause they all seem like nice easy pipey tunes. I'm starting with the Boy in the Gap and the Steampacket. (If you are coming to John's on Sunday, Mike, we'll have to play that one). :D

The Boy in the Gap's a great tune Justine. Are you playing the two parter, or Paddy Taylor's 3 part version? The 3 parter sounds great on the pipes.

The Gold Ring. It's so darn long, I keep forgetting which part comes next! :lol: It's fun though.

Don't forget Tommy Keane's version on "The Wind Among The Reed's" also.... great CD to learn tunes from!

A Phadge.

Right now I'm just learning the 2-part one Ronan Browne plays.
That 3-part one is on Paddy Taylor's recording, right? MurphyStout has that, so I'll have to borrow that and move on to part 3 (once I get the 2-part version down!)

If you're listening to Ronan Brown I strongly recommend his "the wynd that you know" album. His stuff with Peter O'Loughlin is a bit simpler (all great tunes, of course), whereas the Wynd album is more pipey, with loads of excellent reg work.

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

And you can all learn this tune directly from Tommy by attending the Great Northern Irish Pipers Club Tionol 2005 (May 21/22nd)!
