Where can I get your albums? And if you don't have any, why the hell not?
Hiram Abiff Hi Hiram, currently working on my first solo album...will be releasing it within the next two months. If you subscribe i'll be able to keep you posted about it!! Cheers Chris
+Chris McMullan Is this a D or Cset?
+Hayden Olsen It's in D Hayden
You tuning it a little flatter? Where's your bridle?
Hi Max, my debut album is available for pre-order from chrismcmullan.bandcamp.com/releases
Chris, I need you to know that over the years, you've secured a firm and permanent place in my heart. What you do isn't playing music, it's speaking to the soul in a language that only the soul can fully understand. This isn't meant to fluff your ego, though you'd be damn right to have a big one, but just to express my gratitude for you and what you do.
I've had mornings that were so dark, I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to see the sun when I went outside. My solution, nine times out of ten, is to grab a mug of coffee and listen to your playing. That first sip of coffee wakes me up, and the first note from your pipes always blows those storm clouds away. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your gifts with all of us!
I'm surprised the neighbors don't break down the doors. To give standing ovations, that is. Awesome!
My neighbors would try to get me evicted.
My neighbors would bring beer.
There is sitting a man in a kitchen and plays such a music! Sometimes the world shows it is better than it seems mostly.
Always go clean mental when I hear the uilleann pipes being played flat out
This is such a beautiful sound. It's stunning. It touches my heart. I love it.
I'm not Irish. I'm Ukrainian but your music crosses cultural boundaries.💚💚💚💚
One of the best pipe players ive heard
That was and still is an incredible play. I've been listening to it for many years, also sending it to my friends.
Holy Shit Lad!!!! My Gawd that's good!

Thank you Blancolirio, this video was a few years ago now but have fond memories recording it 👍🏻
Best rendition of Clumsy Lover I’ve ever heard.
Your music is a sword in the heart and a pillow for the soul. The hours you've spent is the love you have. Tears you've made as I stamp my foot. Back to my roots. A room full of people not giving a feck. Massive respect 💪
Every so often I come back to this video... it's just too good
That first air brings a tear to my eye every time
Gives me chills every time, even three years after the first time I heard it.
Haunting and beautiful one moment, and then the next it is so full of pure joy it is like the sunshine breaking the storm clouds.
My Grandfather, Frank George, is a very well known musician. He is best known for his fiddle and banjo playing, but he played both the Highland and Uilleann Pipes. I showed him some of your videos last spring and he said you are one of the best Uilleann pipers he has ever heard.
is he also a doctor?
He hasnt heard many uilleann pipers.
Joseph Barton - I am guessing: neither have you.

Joseph Barton - which makes your apparently vitriolic comment above very puzzling indeed ...
Chris: We are the McMullens over here in Texas. We came here from Dromore, County Tyrone many years ago, but I had to write you and let you know that we love hearing your great music. We listen to everything new you post. I grew up playing the highland pipes, but I always wished that I could have played the Uillean pipes. You're music isn't great……it's phenomenal, and we're very proud of you as McMullens. I don't know if you speak Irish at all, ach ba mhaith liom a rá gur maith linn do chuid ceol, agus tá muid ag súil go mór leis achen amhran go gcuireann tú anseo ar You tube. Go raibh mile maith agat as do cholceathreaca anseo i dTexas. Le meas, Faber McMullen, Navasota, Texas
whenever I miss Ireland I listen to the ueilleann pipes...makes me choke up then smile!!!
Me too, and I'm not even from Ireland.
Me neighter..... but it brings you somehow home ....
I was trying to find words for it but couldn’t. There is such soul and depth to pipe music. Tugs are the heartstrings. This is stunning! I wish I could see Ireland, stupid COVID even cancelled my dance classes. 😫
The more I listen to this the more I like it - It's magnificent ❤❤
By far this is the best version of I am Asleep ever... nobody else seems to capture the emotion behind this tune
Beyond superb, Chris. You voice three Celtic spirits at once - past, present, and future (as from Abortach) - in a timeless blend. Your harmonic work, especially at 2:30-3:00 and 4:00-to end, in "I Am Asleep," ascends to the pinnacle. Thank you for your mastery and sharing it in the best acoustical kitchen in the northern hemisphere!
Thanks for the kind words Dennis 🙂
I’ve just come back to this fine piece after a couple if years and it sounds as fresh and vibrant as when I first heard it….wonderful! Chris, I hope you’re still with the pipes and in good and rude health.
That's great to hear Trevor.... I should probably do a new version of this.
Well done, I've never seen anyone play the clumsey lover on the uilleanns, very well done.
I could barely stay in my chair hearing that reel! Great playing, man, squeeze on...
My mind goes to images of Connemara and the West Coast when I listen to I Am Asleep and to Limerick and Tipp when I hear clumsy lover.
There may or may not have been a tear coming out of my eye. Stop judging. This is everything I wanted to hear. Thanks!
Why does my heat ache when I play this...I can be anywhere but i hear this song and this makes me feel like I need to go home.and hold my family
Jesus... really great music. thank you for sharing. 👍✨🌈🙋🏼♂️
A wonderful way to set me up for the rest of the day by listening to this exhilarating, joyous and emotional piece. Thank you Chris, you've made dark days brighter again! 👉 👌😊
I love a good slow air... lovely
What a beautiful haunting piece of music.
whenever I hear Clumsy Lover it blows me away. I love it so much!!!!!!
This moves my heart so deeply 💕 Thank you Chris . Never stop playing I adore the sound .💚💚🌟💚💚🌟
Fantastic playing - haunting - and the reel - the total opposite of being asleep. Thanks.
Thank you :)
This is so impressive. I can only imagine how challenging the uilleann pipes are to play, but you do so with perfection. Both pieces are beautiful. The first has a haunting feel and the reel is just good fun! Thanks for sharing this with the world!
So lovely! Thank you. Greetings from Norway.
This is absolutely beautiful. You play with emotion and it's lovely.
Squeezing a goose under the arm. When I hear these pipes airs I moved to melancholy, reflection, or fight. Like irish blues music . Reels on the other and get the feet moving like a banjo.
Beauty. "The Clumsy Lover" is a real piper's reel-lots of crans on the low notes.
you are covering songs made in the past decade, but you make them sound like they came from the homeland many centuries ago...bravo, sir, and much FIRE \M/
pure magic. Thank you!
How can you not dance to this!!!!!!!!!!
The last two and a half minutes are fantastic and really builds into a fast reel… nice intro though and quite haunting.
Great tunes!
Please keep on playing :D
~Flo
Sweet Jaysus that Clumsy lover reel at the end never heard it like that before class sir! thought ye moved into light speed at one point!
I've never seen bellows can make such an exquisite sound? ?
That. BASS!
10/10
You certainly have the Gift, Chris McMullan. Splendid sounds you have shared with us! Respects, man.
I just want you to know your rendition here, and on Spotify, are amongst the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard in my 30 years of existence. Not once in the hundreds and hundreds of times I have listened to it have I not got chills at the first air.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic sound and player.....more please!
This is.....amazing. Breathtaking performance.

Bless you youngin and your pipes!
Love the music
Epic. What an insane instrument the uilleann pipes are.
That was outstanding, that transition near made me jump out the window, and you finished like Hussain Bolt, well done.
Not entirely sure I'd want to live next door to you, but that's beautiful, mate.
Wow, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm playing the GHB but never heard something like this! Highly recommende3d
Thanks very much 😊
That is BEAUTIFUL!!
probably, the best regulator work i have ever seen
Great slow air which reveals your talent as a piper.Excellent.

Tres beau a entendre , une belle instrument . Bravo a l'irlande
GNARLY!!!!!!! Gave me all kinds of chills. Thank you.
beautiful playing, excellent pair of hands
Beautiful
In my kitchen I generally make soup. But oh my goodness, this sounds way better than soup.
This young man is superb to listen to and I love the tone of his pipes and would like to know the maker but hats off to this talent.
Thank you
Travelling from a county Down to county Galway for a long weekend to propose to my now wife it was in Galway town at a music shop I heard this tune I couldn't hear enough . I bought the CD and one of Davy Spillane also it's all I played the whole 4 day's. The Uileann pipes move me like no other musical instrument. They never fail to calm me and take me away. Great tune beautifully played. Thank you.
Liked and subscribed.
one love
Very nice!
Gave me goosebumps! Keep on piping with your bad self..
I love this so much, especially the second piece!😀
Brilliant playing, Well done, inspiring.
Amazing playing, fantastic sound! Wow.....
That was totally NECTAR dude!!!!!!! You're an Amazing piper! You could call down the Angels from heaven playing like that. Very Well Done brother! :-)
It's as if Eric Clapton was waiting for the kettle to boil so sits down to play a tune.. There are angels throwing sun shafts for this one.
Beautiful portrayal, sir. Very well done. This is easily my favorite pieces since the first time I heard it some decades ago. Well done, and thank you soo much for keeping this alive and well.
Best pipe playing i've ever heard
Breathtaking!

Thanks for the support Bill, feel free to subscribe :)
I can't even imagine if I heard the dude next door playing something like this. I would trip over my own feet, I'd be rushing to his door to propose so fast. *lol*
