Not a great video though, hope that wasn't a qualification.

I like this treatment of my favourite Irish reel - the Drunken Landlady

Re: pipe clips

Thanks for sharing, Prof. : ) Good stuff.

This is one is lovely, although you can barely hear Tommy playing, the tunes are nice.

I love all the old Ennis clips, especially the 1980 television clip of Seamus playing The Morning Thrush. It is beautiful, sad, and joyous all at once, like most of Seamus's best piping.

Re: pipe clips

Wow - Nice posting, piobagusfidil., and tough to follow Blackie on the pipes, IMHO.

i will offer this set - nice pairing, well interpretted, and a fine piper.

Re: pipe clips

As has been said so many to pick. Here are a couple of relatively recent clips of Jarlath Henderson from the first Gordon Duncan Memorial Concert. I was there and they were highlights of the gig for me.

Re: pipe clips

I think Blackie himself likes this fella:

(well he posted this on chiff I thinks)

I myself have never seen Paddy having as much fun as this and I've seen him live dozens of times:

Not as good as Davy Spillane's version IMO (which I can't find anywhere on the web}, but still excellent.

Re: pipe clips

At first when looking at the title of the thread I thought "pipe clips" was referring to some kind of hardware or apparatus for pipers. You can tell I'm not a piper.

Hey, you didn't specify what kind of pipes...

Seán McKiernan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn0u_wkdX8A

Denis Brooks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzRdla8bnVY

I was greatly impressed by Joey Abarta at the Seattle tionol in 2010, I see he has a YT channel now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6zxsglac0s&feature=relmfu Kinda crappy mic but very nice playing. Snappy dresser, too.

O'Connell's about the best I've heard in the wake of P Keenan. Still haven't heard anyone really emulate Johnny Doran. John Rooney is the spitting image of Felix Doran, sonicwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-b_ki_2okM Figures since he's Felix's...grandson? Something like that.

Oh my.

i wonder what mood he was in - really all around the clock and inside and out.
Brilliant command of the pipes, always, but sheesh -
"don't try this at home."

Re: pipe clips

Absolutely Kevin, well said. Lovely stuff folk , Keep them coming.
@ Jimmy, your right , I do use the expression clip to mean a single grace note. It did cross my mind when I posted the thread, and of course we've seen lots of clips in all the clips. :-)

Another entry

My son chided me for a post that didn't include his two favorites:
1) Cillian
2) not sure how to explain... excitement that builds? Whatever it is, it whips the wee lad into a frenzy every time.

So here's another:

Re: pipe clips

I've looked at most of the clips posted, and don't think I spotted this one...

I can't get enough of Tiarnan O Duinnchinn's playing at the moment.

# Posted on October 13th 2011 by Pat Mustard

Re: pipe clips

Wonderful piping by Cillian and Tiarnan.

I always seem to hear, with double uilleanns, this conflict between the pipers on the ornamentations, and rolls and crans and graces and essential pipe-ish muckity muck.

The first reel they seemed to go kind of, "La de da de da CONFUSION la de da de da TURBULENCE la de da de da CONTROVERSY, la de da de da CONFLICT etc. etc. as the pipes fought over the rolls over pitch and accent in each stanza.
Then at 2:40, with the change, they hit a reel both pipers (and their chanters) seemed to agree upon, or perhaps had played the same version regularly. It got much tighter and harmonious IMHO.

Was it just me, and my prejudiced ear?

Re: pipe clips

I'm not sure I wanted to hear this many pipers together, but it looks like this was a blast:
