Now you've got me listening to Paddy Canny. Great stuff. Easy to see where Martin Hayes got it from. Just loaded his solo recording on my MP3 player for next weeks commutes!

Yes- that's it! The Rakes of Clonmel.
It is on Danu's album- The Road Less Travelled. Piper is Donnchadh Gough.

Thanks Jonathan

In Pat Mitchells 1976 album "Uilleann Pipes", side 2, track 4 says "Double jig: The Maiden That Jigged It In Style". It seems to me that there is another jig added to this recording that is not mentioned on the track listing. The notation for The Maiden That Jigged It In Style is...

Mike, Bill Ochs is great. If he cannot fit you in, Martin McCormack gives private lessons in Sunnyside, Queens, when he is not touring with Riverdance.

I saw a Leo Rowsome reed playing perfectly on Saturday. It was made by Leo in 1970. It was one of 4 reeds he made at the same time for this customer. The other 3 have since failed but this reed was a winner!

The chanter is sold.

Thanks,

I am selling it because I recently took delivery of a Koehler and Quinn chanter. Asking $700 plus shipping. PM me with any ...
