I wish (XXXXX) had a cd...
Inspired by a remark during the thread on "eight great living pipers":
You shadow their footsteps at every tionol. You take every workshop they offer. You swoon during their concerts. Your most-played-list includes at least ten crappy recordings from a house session, although you put your recording device on the floor and as a result you can barely hear their piping over the loud foot-stomping of somebody who was sitting next to you (or, alternatively, over the sound of a full pint falling onto your recording device, followed by loud oaths and scrubbing sounds.) Every night you send a prayer heavenwards to the deity of your preference, offering to trade your firstborn child if these pipers would only make a CD.
For me this list would include:
Benedict Koehler
Maire Ni Ghrada
Ivan Goff
Who's on your wish list?

In addition to the three above, I would add David Quinn, Geoff Wooff and perhaps some fellow named D'Arcy.KAD wrote:...

What about John Purcell, Leon Rowsome (re-issued), Sean Seery and Mick Touhey, Jim Dowling...
Some of them are gone now but there may be enough material out there to do a Drones and Chanters Vol 3?
Someone (NPU?) should release the Peadar Broe recordings too.
Of the younger lads, (40 something... )
Fergus Finnegan,
Kevin Thompson,
Eamonn Lane,
Donncha Keegan,
all quality pipers!
Is John Reid in Ennis still playing? Haven't heard him in 15 years but he was great then!
Tommy
Edited to add
Rory Sommers, great piper!
