You have Leon's Walton's LP, Tom? Much better than the Dolphin record with the guitar player. If you have Leon Sean and Mick you've got to include Denis Brooks. Tom Creegan too, while we're at it. Joe McLaughlin. Sean McKiernan. Sean Talty.tompipes wrote:Now you're talkin!John Rooney

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.
Recently we've lost some of the old timers who were never on record, Andy Conroy, Tom Busby, Joe Shannon who is on a couple records at least but a solo disc would be good.
They're far overdue to release the home recording of Tommy Reck too.
A compilation or two would be welcome, spotlight some of these great pipers. Things seem to proceed at a snail's pace though. Other genres are featured much more comprehensively; for American Old Time music there are multi-CDs and even box sets you can get of entire States, for instance, often on dinky little homebrew labels.
