Proud irsh American here ☘️🇺🇸❤🇮🇪☘️
Greetings from Ireland. You're right to be proud sir ☘️
German pensioner, 64 years old, must have lived in Ireland in some past life, because this instrument and music speaks to me deep in my soul.
I have never been to Ireland, but THIS is definitely my music.
Too bad there is not more of it, especially on CD.
Thank you to the artist for putting this on UA-cam and letting me/us share it.
Lieber S.R. Sie werden erfreut sein zu erfahren, dass auf UA-cam und allen Musik-Download-Sites Tausende von CDs mit Uilleann Pipe-Musik verfügbar sind. Man muss einfach suchen. Here are a couple of group names: The Chieftains, Bothy Band, Planxty, and many, many more. Sie werden denken, daß Sie plötzlich in Musikhimmel angekommen sind!
@@chriscrilly8807 Vielen lieben und herzlichen Dank. Darüber hinaus bin ich auch bei den Gruppen "Albannach", Saor Patrol und Clanadonia fündig geworden :D.
same 100%
Live my dream for me. I lost my ability to play the pipes when I was 64 through a near fatal stroke. I’ve sold my pipes, but i still love to hear them.
Oh yes there are still excelllent pipers making CDs !
I will let you visit the UA-cam channels of Calum Stewart, Chris McMullan and Cilian Vallely for exemple ;) they have excellent albums… And there are others…
Call me a stubborn Druid or an Enlightened Celt. These tones dig at us deep. Those with the same blood 🩸, feel it in our bones. There is a Solid reason why
Smashing rendition of both pieces! I've seen and heard the masters play both in the past 50 years and this is right up there with the very finest performances.
Beautiful music , ....from Argentina🌎. Best wishes.
Five years before I discovered this wonder!? Euterpe would approve of this rendering on an instrument capable of producing magic in the proper hands - and Steven Johnston surely has them. Thank you Steven, and the producers of this video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🌈
Stunning piping. I gave the chanter to the right person.
Amazing.
Is maith liom é. Go raibh mile maith agat ☺️

With eyes closed I could believe I'm listening to Seamus Ennis.
This is so very beautiful !!!!
Excellent 👌 THANK YOU 🌟😀👍
This is beautiful, brought tears to my eyes...
How great so beautiful
I'm sure it goes to the heart of every Irish soul, it does mine
Makes me miss home
I've been to Ireland one time, and once more I will go before I die. I am an O'Farrell myself.
Not only an Irish soul. Lived so long in your country. I miss it immensely. Cheers from a Dutchman.
Why is Mr STEVEN JOHNSTON allowed to walk on to the streets, a player of his quality should be handled with kid gloves and keeper away from dangers in this world, Stevens playing is stunning, it is truly from his heart and deep down from his soul,.I have always loved the sound of very well-played pipes, it is sad yet stunningly beautiful.
Listening to this repeatedly with the D-Day 80th Anniversary live from Normandy, HMS Belfast next to the Tower of London and associated places on the BBC on in the background. The two blend beautifully. Lovely piping.
Awesome 😎
Fabulous piping. The other-wordly sound of the chanter with the mysterious drone sound. Atmospheric music.
The only instrument which you play with your fingers of both hands, your wrist and side of your hand, your thigh, and both of your elbows.
Great tunes, wonderful performance, super recording!
Beautifully played! And also nicely recorded. I can just hope to come to such a level of playing one day. Picked up the pipes a year ago, and these kind of recordings keep me motivated to carry on playing such a daunting instrument. The camera operator did a fantastic job capturing your fingers so some technique is visible, taking some lessons from that! I'm just wondering how a video like this doesn't have more views/likes...
I started a year ago too!! It’s definitely intimidating, but stick with it-soon enough both of us will be shredding like this 🤩🔥
Where do you guys live? I’m east coast US. Looking for a teacher :)
Stephen Johnston lives in Ireland, now married to the equally excellent Uilleann piper, Ms. Catherine Ashcroft
Absolutely amazing !!!
lovely
Absolutely love!!
glorious! ❤
Wow!! I have a tiny bit of Irish in me and the performance gives me “chicken skin”! Bravo!!
I have family connections in Clitheroe. Cousins who may or may not ride brooms ;) I will make sure i visit your establishment when travel again is normal. Beautiful piping. Cheers from Down Under.
Neck hair standing on end quality! Wow!
THAT'S SOF...BEAUTIFUL
This is such a JAM! Getting pumped to produce a lit fest listening to you :)))
Wonderful playing!! Bravo!
This is some great piping, it brings you in a sort of trance, a very calming feeling.
Hope live music is possible again soon in the pubs, at least here in the Netherlands it will be possible again starting the next week.
So beautiful..Those gorgeous harmony's ! Best song anyone's heard for three hundred years!!
Lol
Just beautiful.
Idk if its ur pipes or the micing combined with ur amazing technique but this is like this is one the best recordings of pipes ive heard
ur ??
It's the Internet. It's just modern shorthand
beautifully played!!! so inspiring. thanks for posting!
Absolutely Superb!!!
great piping! thanks much for putting this up
OMG soo good, I could listen all day!!
Hup hup from me in limerick city
Lovely playing and great tone.
Beautiful set of pipes. Lovely playing. "You know a great piper by his slow air" I heard that somewhere years ago, and I believe it. Thank you for posting this. I was reading the comments that this is a Galloway set, I love the big Taylor style reg keys - and your reeds are balanced sweetly. Thanks again!
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve heard very very many pipers,something kept me right to the end,superb,exquisite,well done...unique style love it
Thanks Eowens Pa. Steve will appreciate your kind words.
Check out coppers and brass on Vimeo brill film about travelling pipers and their style of piping by Tommy Fegan
I wish I had the couple grand to drop on a set of uillean pipes. One InstrumentvI would absolutely love to my repertoire...... Might just have to settle for one of those funky Russian double pipe things as they're the closest sound I've ever heard to these
Mighty piping altogether! I know that slip jig as The Choice Wife. Grand sruff!
It also has an Irish title, but it's impossible to translate into English (Irish speakers will know what Imean)
@@numealinesimpetar1 yeah, it's called An Bhean Roghnaithe in Gaeilege.
@@tscp_celtic5130 It's known as an Phis Fliuch, not sure if my spelling is correct.
If you're a Gaelic speaker you'll know
know what it means, something about a cat.
Very nice indeed. It confuses the hell out of us English when the Irish use so many different names for the same slip jig tune. I have always know the 2nd tune as An Phis Fhliuch, but some even call it The boy in the Bush or even The Ready Wife, whatever...it is a great tune and I love it! Very well done you Sir!
To know many tunes which have got thousands of different names then you are a master musician and you will be very welcome to come and play you music at my little shack would in the winds on a hillside overlooking the wild sea
We play many tunes here in Ireland which are from Britain. Many great reels from Scotland such as "Miss McCleod from Rassay" and many great hornpipes from North England...The Boys of Bluehill, Harvest Home etc. We in Ireland have great tunes too, particularly Slow Airs. The Scots-Irish brought their music to the Appalacians in the 18th & 19th Centuries which still survives and gave rise to "American Country" me thinks.
@@dukadarodear2176 you are correct, but more specifically it’s bluegrass music of the Appalachians that goes right back to Irish traditional music. It’s very popular here.
Круто! Прям холодки по коже! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice one Steve!
Really beautiful

Fine being a great tune for the pipes aye
Lovely playing and, even more rare, great videography and sound.
Thanks Gregory, much appreciated.

Aye, it is isn't it Dan.
Ar fheabhas a chara ❤️ Is grá liom é
Well apparently i have a anglo saxon last name my roots are all over brittish isles i have 🇮🇪🏴🏴🏴 i am 🇺🇸 by the way😊
Lovely sound and all reeds in tune.from an outsider i would have loved if you threw in a few low d's as a posed to all the hard d's.try it?
Great playing & great filming✅👍
Thanks Paddy. We'll pass your kind comments to Steven.
I am O'Farrell
Slow airs, "nahenahe", in Hawaiian - suits the uillean pipes well.

The slip jig is "An Phìs Fhliuch" which can't be translated for the sake of decency :)
Beautiful music and well rendered. John
Lovely playing, instrument and recording. Used to play this instrument. Still love it. Who made the pipes? Sorry got answer from your answer to another comment.
Gordon Galloway set per chance ?
"I didn't practice this song long enough to imitate someone."..Good....OHhhh Buuurn, that bacteria from my wound! You know it's good for you.
Thar barr.
Can you provide any info about the set of pipes being played? What key are they in? Who made them?
Hi Cameron. Steven says that they are Concert pitch pipes (key of D), made by Gordon Galloway, in ebony, boxwood and brass, all reeds made by Steven himself. Best wishes and thanks for your comment.
Lovely set and beautifully played. Reminds me of the Clancy/Coyne type of slow air sound but in another key.
O'FARRELL'S WELCOME TO LIMERICK sounds a lot like the choice wife I must say. Are they the same piece or melody?
Yes it is the same slip jig, I known it as An Phis Fhliuch but its also known as The Boy in the Bush, The Choice Wife, The Ready Wife, The Good Wife, and so on, it depends what it was called when the musician learnt it. Confusing or what, but still bloody good!
Are these like electric parlor pipes?
How does he manage to slide the C natural in Farrell's?
Hi there. Steven says this:
'By using the c# finger, as if you shade the c sharp hole with the f# hole off it flattens the c natural, so you take the f# straight off but slide the c#’ there you go 😊
Is uirlis álainn í agus
Couple of notes sound a hair out of tune?
Не знаю, как по-мне так дребедень.
