Thanks god Paddy has started to submit some classic recordings of the uillean pipes. There are not that many recordings of the ones like Seamus Ennis, Willi Clancy, Patsy Thuoy, and a few compilation of the old cylinder recordings. I think these are a must for all who play irish music (especially for piper like myelf). Ignorants not knowing these are sometimes very much surprised how much IrTrad has changed during the last century. Who remembers the time where tunes and songs never were mixed? It's just 30 years ago....

The "Stone in the Field" he plays here isin't the reel, but a three part version of the jig "The Maid in the Meadow."

"Cronin's" as played here is a hornpipe, not a reel.
