And here's Kevin Boyle and a few others, also posted on YouTube.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9cHmfq4omo has a flute lead then pipes join halfway through

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XscuQTfo45k
has piping coming in at 3min20 secs. Donal Og is the song/air I think.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WjX8b2RvE8 sees the pipes start at 2min30s.

I don't know why people poop on the sound of flute with pipes. I love it, and think they go very well together.

This is the kind of piping that I like, that got me to try to play this thing....might get me lambasted by the traditionalists who hate the synth/Riverdance/Spillane stuff, but I want to play like this guy....

I tend to like traditional stuff, and not like electrified instruments, and Riverdance isn't my cup of tea. But I liked that.

I'm not sure if this one has been posted before. This is a recording of piper Liam O'Flynn that was filmed at the Battersea Arts Centre in the 1980's. The tune I believe is The Frieze Britches, played at a nice pace too.

It's not the "Frieze britches" as indicated but "I buried my wife and danced on her grave" plus another jig I just can't recall the name.

I think the 2nd jig is "Will You Come Home With Me?".

Frieze Britches == I Buried My Wife...

same tune. Some people use the second name for the Willy C version but in the Mitchell book it's labelled Frieze Britches anyway (all 3? versions)

Bill R's right about the second tune
