Piper's Choice 2

Post by djm »

I don't see it on the NPU site for sale yet, but Claddagh has the DVD of Piper's Choice Volume 2 for sale. This one features Emmett Gill, Mick O'Brien and Jimmy O'Brien-Moran.

I know what I'm getting for Xmas. :wink:

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.

I have an order in for some for stock at bagpipediscs.com. Hopefully they'll be up on the site in about a week.

That reminds me! Volume 1 just arrived in the mail yesterday as I was leaving for work. I get to check it out today! I suppose the release of Volume 2 means that Ian gets more of my cash again...

Aye, the first volume of this was great, especially Ronan Browne's contribution - very insightful.

The other thing was that it was directed with pipers in mind; focusing on the piper and his hands throughout, instead of cutting to scenes of rural Ireland or a blazing log fire or a leprechaun or whatever.

I agree, I found Ronan's remarks to be the most insightful (for me anyway), Tommy Keene had some good stuff to say as well. I too appreciated the focus on what the players were doing rather than montages.

Woohoo! Mine just arrived from NPU this morning, so have it playing in a corner of the screen while I am working ... more detailed study and frustrated adulation to follow!

What key pipes is each piper playing on DVD 1 & 2?
