He played in Galiza at Ortigueira celtic festival ( www.festivaldeortigueira.com ) in 70's and let to our old brothers some vinyls that we still listen.
What do you think of that piper?

I like very much the sound of his chanter. Do you know if the pipes that he plays are made by himself?
So, I think that he's no very famous in the UP circles, maybe this is due his first records is on vinyl (the best works) and only few on cd? I consider him like a classic master piper...

quothe Carel:
The amazing thing about his playing is he often sounds like he is pushing the very limits, just about to lose control; fast, wild piping. But he keeps perfect time with the accompaniment from the harp.
This sort of wild and woolly piping was something that Willie Clancy could do, too.
I've heard them play live a couple of times, and taken a workshop with Joe in the early days of the Philadelphia Ceili Festival (remember the farm in Lansdale?!?)I really like his playing. and the harp is ok for me
