Once bittern, twice shy. But seriously, this is lovely and very melancholy. In my songbook I have another version of An Bonnán Buí which has a totally different melody. Confusing!
Aly Bain, the legendary Shetland fiddler once said about the art of playing slow airs that "anybody can play the fast stuff, but it's the slow air that sorts the men from the boys", and that is such a truth. You can make the feet dance with a good going set of reels, but the slow air has the capacity for emotions that can touch and break hearts and bring a tear to the eye.
Brilliant beyond belief, unbelievable - played on the Uilleann Pipes. We have the Bagpipes too here in Ireland but they're called the "War Pipes" ie Pîobaí Choghaidh.
Gorgeous. Who's the maker of those pipes? Trying to find out -- I see them being played by lots of top players but can't find out who made them! Thanks in advance.
Hope you's enjoy the New Video :) Let me know what you's think :)

My God your bagpipe skills are just the best I've ever seen, there is always so much emotion in it.
Thank you Adrian🙏 I appreciate it 🙂

Ooh, that’s magic. Lovely, Chris. Airs on the uilleann pipes are one of the best things on our planet.
What deaf, soulless monster downvotes this??
@@neilgow77 I see no downvotes. The deaf, soulless monster has yet to strike. Prepare for the deadly onslaught, ye men of Uilleann.
Wow, absolutely incredible playing. I love the Slow Airs.
Thanks Clayton!!! Hope you are doing well :)

Sounds great, Chris! I play this song myself very often, but your version sounds better... ;-) Thanks for the inspiration!
Never heard of the Uilleann Pipes before now, these are excellent !! Played beautifully :)
I discovered a band called Planxty in 1984 (I was 23). Check them out! 🙂

Beyond belief. The tragedy of Ireland destroyed by its uncultured murderous land-stealers. Yet we relax and enjoy the music now. Go raibh maith agat.
