    Was it God Himself who made the uilleann pipes? It had to be. Nothing is closer to Heaven. It always leaves a lump in your throat, like no other musical instrument. So proud to be Irish.

    Táimse im’Chodladh is a special song to me because I heard it performed live on my first night in Ireland. It was my first time ever out of the country and Ireland was already special because my mom is Irish. It was in a pub owned by a group of friends who all played instruments and performed in front of the customers; they’re called The Merry Ploughboys. The whole night they were playing lively songs which everyone loved, but when one of them started playing this, the building got quiet and tranquil. The sound of the Uileann pipes whistled through the souls of everyone in that room. The experience I had that night stays with me and I’ve always wanted to go back to Ireland to see more of its beautiful landscapes and to that pub to hear this piece again. An absolutely beautiful song

      So well said. My puppy Bridgit is part border collie and when she first heard this recording, she started making a soft howling, almost melodic, which I've never heard her make before. Sounded like she was replying to what she heard in the song. Sweet but a little tingle went up my spine for she sounded how I felt about it too.

    Uilleann pipes are such an astonishingly emotive instrument and Catherine is a masterful exponent. I love too how Maurice simulates the bodhran! Great that players like Troy Donockley and metal band Nightwish are widening the Uilleann audience even more!

      Interesting, isn't it, that we have to call attention to the fact that the musician is a woman. Pipes, I guess, not yet associated with female musicians? Perhaps slow airs are more "male" expressions?

      @@inlandonline I was drawing attention to the playing rather than the woman. If it was a man I would have said '...can this man play'. We should celebrate the fact that more women are taking up the instrument.
