from wikipedia "The Pastoral Pipe (also known as the Scottish Pastoral pipes, Hybrid Union pipes, Organ pipe and Union pipe) was a bellows-blown bagpipe, widely recognised as the forerunner and ancestor of the 19th-century Union pipes, which became the Uilleann Pipes of today."
@colinandkellie Sin ceart, go cinnte! He's a great lad, brilliant musician, and it's fun to play tunes with him. He was teaching the pipes at our music school, we had great sessions.. He and Dónal O'Connor accompanied me on the bodhrán for the teacher concert. Such precision and feeling.. brilliant! Never had so much fun playing the bodhrán. :)
That would be the one. Not that I'm any good with gaelic, but I've heard him play it under the name "The Dark Slender Boy". And at least if I remember correctly "Buachaill" means lad or boy and Dubh means dark or black, right?
Pastoral pipes were not exclusive to Scotland any more than early Union pipes were exclusive to Ireland. There were people making and playing them on both sides of the Irish Sea. And Pastoral pipes' main design features owe more to the 17th and early 18th century French Musette de Cour and the Hotteterre family than they do to the Highland bagpipes.
Stunning playing. Perfection really. Even better than the version on the Planxty 2004 live album. I'm curious as to the date and context of this TV performance, does anyone know?
One of the reasons I so much more enjoy recent stuff than the older (Willie Clancy and those guys). They just didn't care as much about being in tune. Technically they rock, but sometimes they hit the regulators and it sounds like a traffic jam...
The uileann pipes are the hardest instrument in the world to play! It's like tryinto play the flute and tinwhistle at the same time while at the same time moving your elbow in and out! Impossible!
The Pastoral pipes were not exclusively Scottish any more than the early Union pipes were exclusively Irish. By the way the Pastoral pipes' main design features owe more to the 17th and early 18th century French Musette de Cour and the Hotteterres than they do to the GHB.
I love this music...dont make you angrey.........those kind of people have no feelings or brains. just one thing is important to them.make themselfs hated.Irish music have feelings.....they dont understand what feelings are..
The uilleann pipes are a hybrid of the bagpipes and are only slightly less annoying. They're played by pumping the bellows tucked under the player's arm. There's no mouthpiece allowing the player to smoke, talk, or sing whilst performing.
Rest in Peace, Liam, and thank you.
Thanks for the music Liam.
Rest in Peace.
a very sad loss to the world of piping and Ireland...RIP your music will live on....
Amazing! So Much Soul! ♥
Beautiful. RIP dear Liam. Your legacy will live on. God bless.

Me encanta el sonido de su gaita. No suelo escuchar mucha música celta, aunque me gusta. Suena fantástico.

Do they also have pipes in Spanish traditional music ? I think I saw a documentary on it or was it in Italy ?

Job well done, rest now Liam.
Most enchanting thing I've ever heard.
I am in the process of acquiring a practice set so I can start learning this awesome instrument. This man is one of the masters of it.
A fantastic tune performed with great sensitivity and skill.
liam o flynn = king of uilleann pipes
oh lordy... and he can even bend the notes...if there is music in the next world it won't a harp...it'll be one of these

Lovely, I love this lilting ~
I'm pretty sure the tune's called "The Dark Slender Boy". Fantastic sound though...
R.I.P my friend Liam...
Yes the Slow Air is An Buachaill Caol Dubh (The Dark Slender Boy)
The sad part is I can only give 5 stars.

The Irish say they gave the bag-pipes to the Scots as a joke, but the Scots never got the joke. This proves it!

@khasab: what makes you think that? If they could have made them as sweetly sounding as this, I'm pretty sure they would have.
Where can you find other tunes from the concert? This is wonderful!
Highland bagpipes came of the night boat frae Cairo, Uillean pipes came aff the spaceship....................Happy 2010

Granaghan,Killeen East remember it all.
cadeau for Nicole
What's this tune called? Any idea?
4:00 Hot piping, causing fires telling by the smoke, must be a queer sort of wood in the stage. Lol.
Great bit of music, loved him with Planxty.
That instrument is called the uilleann pipes! Google your brains out of it!
