Daoiri being a showman here with the classic one-handed-mid-tune-album-snag-and-toss at 6:20.

[@irishfield1]

Always the best ever Daoiri and Blackie top song ever and Play thank you Both so much

[@jameslinnane6868]

The pipes (being so powerful) is a difficult instrument by which to accompany a delicate song such s Daoire sings, but not of course in the hands of that genius Blackie. His playing (when required) is so emotive, evocative, and so understated, is the perfect accompaniment for a delicate song . What a rare talent . James Linnane Doolin

[@TradTG4]

Go raibh maith agat for the feedback James!

[@hendrixplek]

Lol, he is only playing the drones during the song... Should be a basic skill as a piper

[@TheGavranatar]

Aye what a melt. i cant play the pipes, but i tried out my friends after about 10-11 pints one night and i could still manage to play the drones well lol

[@gregoryian123]

Hands of magic on those pipes

In Scotland, it was made famous by Derry-born singer Kevin Mitchell - as good a version as anyone's.

Tá sé iontach

[@sentimentaloldme]

A song made famous by the late Liam Weldon, from Ballyfermot,Dublin.

[@sentimentaloldme]

I often heard Liam sing this song acapella....I think Liam actually composed it....

[@davedeegan6987]

He did.

[@TheGavranatar]

loved the part when Daoiri fucked his mic and had to lean over and share Blackie's. you don't see that in many places

[@deehitch265]

Why does this come with an inappropriate warning? there's children in the crowd.
Is it the first line maybe offends some...

[@meowmocha12]

I have no idea. I've noticed that warning on a few videos lately, and can't figure out why they recently got marked as such.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

iontach

[@conorexmcbrent2827]

Did they knock over the mic at the end or what? :D Fantastic that they carried on

[@oisin3016]

The Mic that was attached to the Bouzouki fell off, probably from all the jumping around, some craic..! :) Blackie actually gives him the nod to come closer to him so that the zouk could be picked up on the Pipes' mic for the remainder..great set

[@Jesse__H]

What is that instrument there? Like a strange bagpipe...

[@cmcgrory9able]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes

[@ritamack5731]

It's the Uilleann Pipes, the Irish Pipe as opposed to the Bagpipes....which is mostly played by the Scots.

[@Jesse__H]

thanks!

[@evahegarty741]

Uilleann in irish means elbow, which makes sense when you see how the instrument is played

[@maireadcasey300]

Liam weldon

[@Kitiwake]

Very little camera work on blackie.

[@spencermurray4412]

So do they put Blackie back in that cage he's sitting on when he's done? Seems cruel...

[@redeileen369]

Be nice now!

[@dominicshaw4140]
