    Altan, Danu, Solas, Dervish etc - none would exist without the Bothies. I was a big fan of Planxty, but when this lot appeared they completely blew everyone off the stage. Still the best.

    I saw these folks live many years ago. They were unbelievable. I miss the old days of them, Planxty, Chieftains etc. I loved going into NYC with my parents for great concerts. The concert goers were all so appreciative of the musicians too. It was a great time to experience live Celtic music.

    In the 90's Paddy Keenan did a tour of some Irish-American clubs and we, living in Columbus OH 120 miles away, got word he'd appear at the Cleveland West Side Irish-American club for a concert and follow-up jam sessiun. Evidently almost nobody else did, because there were barely 20 of us for a Paddy Keenan solo concert. Look up my ID, you can see that I've made some hardware contributions to this music and the uilleann pipes. You can't write fairy tales like this but my wife and I got to sit at each of his elbows that night, I with uilleann pipes and my wife with bodhran, both of us quite modest players. He was so gracious. Any time he started a tune and few or nobody joined, he'd quickly switch till he found a tune that enough of us few knew.

      My comment was based on what I believed was a misunderstanding by @adrianmccarron4909, in that he appeared to be ‘correcting’ @silvialogan9226’s use of the term ‘bagpipes’. On reflection, I’m prepared to accept the possibility that Adrian was just expanding the term ‘bagpipes’ in general to ‘uilleann pipes’ in particular. However, @TheGavranatar seems to want to correct me, in so far as s(he) seems to think uilleann pipes aren’t bagpipes. Fintan Vallely’s Companion to Irish Traditional Music puts it quite succinctly: they are a ‘bellows-blown bagpipe’. There are over thirty known types of bagpipe, the Scottish (Highland) and the uilleann being the best known, at least in English-speaking countries; some are mouth-blown, some are bellows-blown. All of this would be well known to performers and scholars of traditional music.
