Another painting with pipes
There have been a few threads on pipers and pipes in art ,but I dont remember seeing this one before. It was painted by Edwin Thomas Roberts in 1876. I think the representation of the set of pipes is fairly realistic compared to some other paintings of pipes.

- 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.

Re: Another painting with pipes
Rory's playing has a similar effect on listeners, as depicted in this painting: the afflicted are encouraged to stand, walk...and run.

Re: Another painting with pipes
Yea! I'll do anything for a laugh ,including playing the pipes.
It is an interesting painting, I think the man standing is saying to the girl, Come on baby lets get away from this rubbish,come back to my place and I'll stick on my Barry White album.

Ok Tom, here's a challenge: next time we meet I want to hear the extended technique version of "The First, The Last, My Everythang" as a slow air. You can skip the advice to the audience on sexual intimacy part. Please.

Re: Another painting with pipes
Does anyone else think that the piper in the painting resembles Turlough MacSuibhne?
(photo linked from Bill Haneman's site)
Might he have served as a model?

And another:
(from ITMA)
Note how McSweeney holds the chanter in the photos: upper-hand finger-tips cover the holes, like in the painting. Also, the set of pipes in the painting resembles the set in the first photo (from Billh's website/O'Neill's IMM).

The painting was done in 1876, does this tie in date wise with Mr McSPJ wrote:Does anyone else think that the piper in the painting resembles Turlough MacSuibhne?

Re: Another painting with pipes
Turlough McSweeney was born in 1831 and died in 1916. He would have been about 45 when the Roberts painting was done in 1876.
Here's an extract from an article by Nicolas Carolan on McSweeney and here's the link to the IMM entry.
