Sean, thanks for posting this video. I first heard Seamus Ennis play on the Album “Irish Pipe and Tin Whistle Songs, later published on CD as the Bonny Bunch of Roses, 40 years ago. Still have the vinyl album. The First House in Connaught was electrifying, and the humor in The Devil and the Farmer’s Wife is STILL funny. The interplay between pipes, his “droning” voice on the verses and lilting chorus on The Praties are Dug and The Frost is All Over is just marvelous. I must have four or five different versions of Bucks on various albums, all different, and love them all, even the one that appears to have been recorded on a lacquer cylinder and sounds like it is being played under water. I love your version of Bucks, especially, the wrist work on the regulators We are so fortunate today to have access to the historical recordings and to modern musicians like yourself. I Liked, Subscribed, and Hit the Bell, and look forward to hearing more of your playing pop up on my YT feed here in the USA.
Yeaaahhhhhhhh! There he goes!!! Go on with it!!! (shouting just like During Seamus Ennis' performance, in lieu of the audience here, who is honestly probably just dumbstruck by how awesome this is.) Great stuff Sean.
gorgeous playing! absolutely masterful and the staccato is the sharpest I think I have ever heard anyone play, just so crisp. I so wish that folks knew how to mic up Uillean pipes, the chanter is bold as brass but almost no drones can be heard on the recording.
The Bucks of Oranmore was played earlier in Scotland than here in Ireland and is still played in the Western Isles. It's real name is "The Bucks of Aranmore". It's a Scottish-Gaelic reel. This is Great Uilleann Piping. Go raibh maith agat.
Holy crap, I think it's fair to say Sean Mckeon is the Eddie Van Halen of Piping!!! Spectacular piping. Fair play. Makes me think i should've learned the spoons and not the pipes!!!
Wow! Just "WOW! How on earth do you do that? Seriously! You're almost splitting your brain into four independent yet connected parts. I struggle to use two hands on a piano for hec's sake. SO impressed. Both with the original creator and your breathtaking playing. I can see the Wicklow mountains from my kitchen window, I wish I could hear your playing as well. Diolch mawr or Míle buíochas (hope that's correct).
Sheer genius what a piping master Thank-you Sean
Thanks Sean! So wonderful to hear Seamus Ennis' playing revived in the The Bucks.
Absolutely fantastic playing Seán.
I'm always amazed by the sheer range of sounds out of the uillean pipes and the coordination required to play them
