One of the most intriguing melodies. There is a distinct note of the ethereal and perhaps something of the underworld........ it always makes me feel a bit uneasy.
.....you and Séamus Heaney both......the Púca channels sound down the air through the píobaire as medium...." though nothing like melody "....the ghost of whalesong through the keel of a currach.
Deep as the whales sound, as they may have off the Blasket Isles, heard by fishermen. I cannot do this true on the fiddle, though I've been trying for years. This is what it is. Profound thanks.
This lament, timeless, touches the drawstrings deep within us, connecting us with a greater existence. Beautifully and inspiring expressed; pause to reflect; pause to engage.
Thank you for posting this wondrous piece! The sea and all the creatures there-in and the fairies still sing to us, I think, but some of us, (like me,) need to take the time to learn to listen.
I will keep practing my Johnny Bourke set of uilleann pipes, because when I see you all play it makes me strive to practice harder, thank you for inspiring me:::))) Welcome to Gladstone Queensland Australia
I have heard it said that this slow air is the sorrowful mourning of the whale, as heard through the skin (or canvas these days) of a currach, a traditional boat found (mostly) along the west coast of Ireland.
my dad said the same thing and one time cillian played it at an outdoor festival and try wind seemed to pass through the tent and made the sound move like ocean waves, one of many good stories he used to tell
Brilliant rendition of a very beautiful and haunting air!! Absolutely wonderful playing - serious Uileann pipers are few and far between. It's the first time hearing this guy and I'm impressed! Bearing in mind my benchmark is Plantxy (Liam o Flynn)...fair praise indeed 👍
At odd moments I get this sort of music of screeching dissonance where the spirit is in painful confusion trying to make sense of it all. I love the deep melancholia of the Irish soul. It sets them apart from the English.
Yes was so disappointed i cou find the wonderful liam o.flynn but this isbrilliant too. Presumably this isthe same vallely of the armagh pipers club whose tin whistle book s changed my life all those years ago!thank you so much. Grma!
The story behind this song is truly beautiful.
Beautiful! Makes me emotional.

Hauntingly Beautiful.. truly the dance of the fairies

Incredibly beautiful tune, played by an incredibly talented piper. Thanks for posting this.
Song of the spirits.
Captures the spirit. Last soul to leave Port na pBucai

That looks exactly like the stage at the Plough and Stars in SF.
