Eh ????????

"Unknown" ?????????

# Posted on September 26th 2006 by Kenny

Unknown Pipers

Kenny,
you should reas the comments more precisely

Unknown of course in 1978, that has changed for most of them since...

# Posted on September 27th 2006 by swisspiper

The Pipers

Davy Spillane 1, 14
Jimmy O'Brien-Moran 2, 8
Robbie Hannon 3, 13
Gabrial McKeon 4,12
Maire Ni Ghrada 5, 11
Mick O'Brien 6, 10
Eoin O'Riabhaigh 7, 9

swisspiper - none of those players were "unknown" in 1978 - not to me anyway, and since I'm a mere Scot, they certainly weren't unknown in Ireland.

# Posted on September 28th 2006 by Kenny

Ditto

I would agree with Kenny. I had heard most of these pipers and knew who they were by 1978. I recall Gabriel McKeon in particular had a lot of radio exposure even before this recording.

# Posted on September 28th 2006 by LongNote

WOW I had no idea that no one had posted this before!! I love this recording XD

Cheers,
Armand

OK, I have to confess my first message has been overstated. Mick O'Brien and Robbie Hannan have been just 17 year old lads, so young was true for sure, unknown may be not to everybody

# Posted on October 4th 2006 by swisspiper

Eamonn's?

Jimmy O'Brien-Moran plays a variation of "The Yellow Wattle" on this recording,quite different from the common one. I've never heard anyone else play it. It would be nice to know where he got it from. Who's Eamonn?
