Thanks for that. I guess from the clip that Cillian is not playing the Froment D chanter . I saw them play 2 years ago and he didnt use it then either. Anyone know what chanter he´s playing?.

Looks like a Koehler and Quinn chanter with the Froment chanter cap.

Wonder why he would use the Froment wind cap with the KQ chanter. I saw them play in switzerland , on a fairly high altitude. It was said he didn't used the Froment chanter because of the altitude. I think it was the same one as is in the video clip.

I think the first set is The Wedding Reel/Good Morning To Your Nightcap/Malbay Shuffle. It's a track on one of their recordings - can't remember which one.

Not crazy! Sorry, I looked at the wrong Lunasa clip. Another senior moment, I'm afraid.
