anyone who can play the union pipes is way high in the ranks of musical folk if you were to ask me. It amazes me how it all comes together, from the making of reeds that work every time, to playing the drones in accompaniment. It truly is a wonder any of it ever gets off the ground. But there you go. Boom. Freeking Magic (and a lot of love) ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was absolutely amazing. The ability to play those two tempo’s, one with his fingers, and the other with what looks like his wrist?!? 😬 that’s crazy control of rhythm. I’m also here because I grew up listening to the Fureys, took me years to learn the name of this instrument. Absolutely tears the heart open when you hear it.
It's just that the baritone drone has a turn & a resonator as well. I believe the O'Mealy sets frequently had this. Pat Mitchell's C set also has it, though I forget the maker of his.
It’s not that bad : ) if you have a good instrument, access to good reeds, good tuition, and lots of time to practice. What people struggle with mostly are: 1) complete lack of familiarity with Irish traditional music and/or woodwinds 2) overconfidence based on prior experience with other bagpipes 3) lack of access to resources like reeds, repairs, advice, tuition and 4) lack of time. They don’t play themselves and you have to spend a lot of time with the machine to develop mastery.
Used extensively in Scottish films also like the Irish bodhrán. Braveheart, Rob Roy and Outlander relied on them in their soundtracks for Gaelic atmosphere. Éirinn go Brách ☘️🇮🇪
They were first developed in England, Scotland, as well as Ireland. Look up the history of Pastoral Pipes. The forerunner of Union/Uilleann Pipes. All 3 countries developed them, but they died off or went in other directions, as in Northumbrian Pipes etc. We kept them up, but nobody wants to know that part of Pipes history
The presence of a cop in a kilt is not the defining characteristic of bagpipes as a family of instruments. It’s the presence of a BAG with reeded pipes, a concept that dates back 2 millennia
O’Sullivan the Great!!! No one plays like Jerry! Great stuff.
😢🎉
Such a beautiful sound
Great rhythm and tone, excellent right forearm, deep understanding. Altogether excellent.
I've not heard Jerry much at all in recent years, online anyway.. nice to stumble onto this one. always thought he was a great piper
The 3 dislikes are from England Probably
An exceptional piper. Elegant and restrained, with lovely technique on the regulators and an old fashioned style overall. Perfect.
Very good.
Great stuff. First time I've heard Jerry.

God bless you
Anyone know what's the story with that double bass drone is it?? The 2 puck resonators? I've never seen this before

good dancing music!
Masterful
Nice pipering...❤
Mighty.
Honestly...who disliked this !!
These are UILLEANN PIPES not bagpipes as described
That looks like the hardest instrument to play ?

Is he the actor from Mad Max 2?
It sounds a bit like Turkey in the Straw.
💚
So much nicer sound to the bagpipes.
Bagpipes were a joke Scottish people took seriously!

Yes'r
You ought to hear a Cajun squeeze box (accordian) It's beautiful, too.
I'll try to UA-cam them.I love experiencing all types of music from around the world.
NOT bagpipes....... UILLEANN pipes
Uilleann pipes ARE bagpipes, too. There are 80+ different varieties of bagpipes

Irish pipes are better than Scottish pipes
not irish enough
I'm irish and I say it is
sounds like an autotuned screaming chicken
Screaming chicken is it? sure would ya whist and go back to peeling the spuds.
