A top notch Uilleann piper, and a big contributor to the brilliant folk group, that was Planxty. Liam R.I.P. And thanks for your excellent rendering of traditional music.
A fine musician ...he needed no overstretched amplification , black hats or dark glasses ...he was a genuine ambassador for the music It was never what a great piper I am but rather what great music is here ... R I P
Black hats LOL - know who you're referring to. Those travelling pipers had to be 'flash' to earn their keep. Not so the gentlemen pipers like Liam - which suited his quiet, calm personality
Im not irish, I dont listen to irish music really.. from my music teacher at home I've heard of Liam O'Flynn , that's how I started to search his tunes so I could distinguish various ornamentations and so on.. but all I really want to say is , this is really Beautiful !
whenever I hear this kind of instrument...it brings me tears and a knot in my throat...Im half irish and I love this music...thank you for giving me this chance..sidi
Jesus ,it makes you realise we all have to die?Sometimes I wish that the most talented ones (like Liam )could live forever and fuel our tormented souls with their extraordinary talent.But I believe he will live on ,through his music his soul will live forever......
Just a wee correction to the title above. Eire translates to "load, burden" Éire is the name of the country. That little 'fada' above the E, makes a huge difference in pronunciation and in meaning. But the music, simply the best of the pipers, hands down
He didn't need hype or trivia. Half naked airhead dancers. He didn't need to be political or sanctimonious. Why is it the good and great leave us too early.
Did you make any progress with the pipes over the past 5 years? One of my bigger regrets in life is that I never got to learn music as a child. Still have a deep yearning to learn (I'm in my late 40's now), unfortunately however I'm one of Ireland's worst procrastinators! 😁

With the possible exception of the pedal steel guitar, no musical instrument is more beautiful, haunting, confounding, unforgiving or difficult to play, than the Uilleann (union) pipes. A true master, Liam O'Flynn could make them (and me) laugh and cry. My introduction to traditional Irish music was Planxty, anchored by Liam's incomparably virtuosity. There were lots of other traditional Irish bands (and pipers) to follow, but nobody could match Liam. In the mid-1960s England, one of the more popular graffiti phrases was "Clapton is God." Had the artists turned their ears westward, they might have reached a different conclusion.
All those things Brian. A great inspiration to many including myself. Would never had picked up the pipes were it not for Liam's playing and recordings. Fortunate to hear him live in NZ and Australia several times and to meet him briefly, just the once. Gone too soon alas
It just occurred to me on listening to this again that those have got to be Seamus Ennis's old Coyne pipes Liam is using on this track. Quite a bit sharp of C nat which would correlate. Nice to hear them in a very different setting and still played by a master piper.

very beautiful too bad it haves so little wiews thats because people toaday only listen to pop,rock and other low quality crap its very sad people dont apeceiate the old and beautiful music
karenloconnor I usually listen to the tune over and over while drinking whiskey. Once I'm relaxed and only thinking of the music I just play and the tune sometimes comes fairly quickly. Even if I'm getting it wrong and making mistakes just keep playing it will come.
Listen and use your ears. Though I read the dots, I have picked up many of Liam's tunes without. Once the tunes are going round in my head I know I can play them. Nevertheless I'm sure there's a transcription somewhere. I have written down some of Liam's versions of tunes - easier to pass them on to others

Sorely missed, the grandmaster of the uilleann pipes, whose playing always went straight to the heart and deeply stirred the soul.

One of the best. RIP Liam. You did not die. Your music is still here.
beautifull every note he ever played ,he carried a torch for seamus ennis and brought it even better
Rest in Peace Liam Your music will live forever it is a great loss to Ireland

Well that's Irish Music!!!!!!!!!!
Rest easy, old boy, and we'll see you again sooner than we know
Wonderful, thank you so much. All the best from Connemara, Ireland
Maravilloso, marvelous, the great piper, ❤so deep feelings you gave us, rest in peace, well deserved..

I'm Hispanic and crying like a baby, this is just too beautiful
Beautyfull in love the Uilleann, you can let it speak, a bagpipe cant produce such a sound and so tear breaking,
Greets from Netherlands !!
Fortunately, his wonderful music will reminds us of him, every time again...
Realmente magistral está música. Somente agora estou conhecendo o senhor Liam O'Flynn.
Some fantastic slow airs and versions of tunes from Liam O Flynn. Beautiful. Capture the story in the song and the spirit of the place.
Hmm, sadly enough, perhaps not the spirit of Ireland these days though...
Liam is a true master of the pipes.
God rest his soul Liam master of the pipes.
Beautiful Liam. A porthole into a different universe.
So wonderful....
greetings from Austria
Precisos, enorme, maravilloso. Un placer para los oídos.
May rest in peace our Master, our King.
Jesus ,it makes you realise we all have to die?Sometimes I wish that the most talented ones (like Liam )could live forever and fuel our tormented souls with their extraordinary talent.But I believe he will live on ,through his music his soul will live forever......
padraic horgan Nice post ,RIP to a true master of his craft.go easy liam.
Beautifully put Padraig
He will live on not only in his own music but in those he inspired. That is the legacy of greatness
Always tasteful and precise. Never overdoes the vibrato and note-bending
Superbly put.
RIP Liam O'Flynn ✝️
You was always a good IRISH!
We missed you and your bagpipes
R.I.P. llevaré tu música para siempre
En España lo conocimos gracias a Ramón Trecet.

Yep. It’s like año vs ano. One is year, the other is anus. Pretty fun mix-up for me, an Irishman that lived many years in Spain 😂
Love it!! No one else could play this song Like Liam O'Flynn
Rest in peace . Part of Ireland just died
So loved, so missed......
He didn't need hype or trivia. Half naked airhead dancers. He didn't need to be political or sanctimonious. Why is it the good and great leave us too early.
Why describe the dancers as ‘airhead’? Many dancers I know are very successful in medicine, accountancy, law, teaching etc.
@@rincemor u know what he meant
@@rincemor then what the fuck are they dancing for?
Could we still add half naked airhead dancers ?
Inspirational! I have pipes I never learned to play. That has to change now!
Give them to me if u want

greez, jens
This track is originally from an album called "The Fire Aflame" by Seane Keane, Matt Malloy, and Liam O'Flynn. A really amazing album.
Agreed. Exceptional album - fine playing and musical taste from all 3
With the possible exception of the pedal steel guitar, no musical instrument is more beautiful, haunting, confounding, unforgiving or difficult to play, than the Uilleann (union) pipes.

Liam it his very best the magical sound of a master at work.
Beautiful,my tears will fall
really beautiful sounding of the pipes.
Liam mliamlwe will never forget you tomas
this is such an evocativie piece of music like all his music
Thanks Liam .You will be missed.
Stunning playing from a master✅

very beautiful too bad it haves so little wiews thats because people toaday only listen to pop,rock and other low quality crap its very sad people dont apeceiate
the old and beautiful music
Didn't know Liam had a Rogge set. Perhaps that is the B set he occasionally plays?
Zac. That makes sense
It isn’t the sound of Seamus pipes
Stunning. Any idea where I might find some sheet music for this? I'm a fiddle player, would love to have a crack at it!

What’s the tune called?
i was wondering if they were the usual horstmann.Rogge pipes he plays ..as i thought th tone wasnt just as hard as theirs are
