    Most brilliant people on the planet for me - uilleann pipe makers - forget about astronauts, politicians, brain surgeons, footballers, these guys take the cake, truly unsung hero's. I looked into making pipes a little while ago with an Australian pipe maker Ian Mackenzie, realised it was beyond me with the years I have remaining. I'd be happy just to make a decent reed....I've tried explaining to 'regular' non piping folk what goes into a set of pipes.....If I ever win the lottery I'll buy a set (third) Martin, keep up the beautiful work.

    Can't find words to express how much I've enjoyed watching this superb film. The title sums it up perfectly: musical excellence and excellence of craftsmanship. The tale of long years perfecting techniques and constantly learning new ones---the refusal to take the easy road of doing a quick just-about-good-enough job is inspiring; the period of doubt must ring a bell with everyone; then the heartening news that Martin finally realises that he MUST continue to make ever-better pipes, not simply for his own fulfilment but also to satisfy the demands of first-rate players for first-rate instruments so that an honourable tradition will never die. In a world riven by anxiety and fear for the future, this film reminds us that, with faith in what we do and what we believe in, nothing is unachievable. Twenty-nine minutes and five seconds of sheer inspiration!
