Davy Spillane Caoineadh Cu Chulainn Uilleann pipes The Show From Riverdance The Show at the Point Theatre in Dublin 1995. Caoineadh Cu Chulainn (Lament) For those that have asked-pronounciation of Caoineadh Cu Chulainn from Erins Web dot com is 'Kweena Coo Hulling' Song composed by Bill Whelan. Presented here is Davy Spillane with a lament on the uilleann pipes for Cuchulain, the great Irish hero and leader who fought the sea prior to his death. Cúchulainn /(Irish "Hound of Culann"; also spelled Cú Chulainn, Cú Chulaind, Cúchulain, or Cuchullain) is an Irish mythological hero who appears in the stories of the Ulster Cycle, as well as in Scottish and Manx folklore. The son of the god Lugh and Deichtine, sister of the king of Ulster, he was originally named Sétanta , but gained his better-known name as a child after he killed Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence, and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared. At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge ("The Cattle Raid of Cooley"). It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but that his life would be short; one reason he is compared to the Greek hero Achilles. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy or ríastrad, in which he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe. He fights from his chariot, driven by his loyal charioteer Láeg, and drawn by his horses, Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend.

Uilleann Pipes http://www.setdancingnews.net/wcss/wcsst.htm One of the greatest --Liam O Flynn. In his teens, Liam and his pipes began to attend music 'seisiuns' in the Kildare village of Prosperous. Here, for the first time, he met many of the people with whom he would later make his name and tour the concert-halls of the world. These were musicians like Christy Moore, Donal Lunny and Andy Irvine with whom, in the early seventies, Liam formed the legendary Planxty. One of Ireland's most important and influential groups, Planxty brought a style, innovation and 'cool' to Irish music which was to lead directly to the many Irish musical success stories during the decades that followed. But behind the innovation and experimentation Liam O'Flynn has always managed to remain true to the great piping tradition. He has taken his instrument into previously unexplored territory - be it as a member of Planxty, as a soloist with an orchestra or working with artists as diverse as John Cage, The Everly Brothers, Van Morrison and Kate Bush. But whatever the situation, he has remained resolutely true to the music itself. And it's precisely this mix of credibility and durability which makes Liam O'Flynn one of our greatest musicians and someone long regarded among his peers as Ireland's Master Uilleann Piper. "I always imagine," Liam says, "that it must have been extraordinary when the pipes were first developed in the eighteenth century - a whole new instrument and here's a fellow coming around to the local fair with this amazing instrument with extraordinary sounds and inbuilt accompaniment. It became an 'in' instrument that very quickly occupied prime position in the tradition and people of all stations took to it. The big houses took to the instrument and they had their own resident pipers. Then you had the traveling pipers who played at all sorts of outdoor happenings and they evolved a different style that was very immediate and quite open and spectacular. I suppose the whole idea of power was attached to people who played such an extraordinary instrument." Liam is always searching for new arenas in which to take the pipes. With Mark Knopfler he performed the score to the movie Cal. Other movie scores include The Field, A River Runs Through It (with Elmer Bernstein), Kidnapped, and Roses from Dublin (with Vladimir Cosma). No stranger to playing with orchestras, Liam had already achieved an international audience when he recorded The Brendan Voyage with Shaun Davey, a groundbreaking orchestral piece which was followed in later years by three other Shaun Davey works, Granuaile, The Relief of Derry Symphony and more recently The Pilgrim. He had successfully brought the pipes into the greatest concert halls in the world and introduced its unique sounds to audiences and musicians everywhere.

Zac Leger - uilleann pipes Jerry Holland tribute Just a quick little set of Jerry tunes here in the dressing room before a show. Couldn't remember the second tune when it came to it, so flubbed a little there. Tunes are Brenda Stubbert's/Just Cruizin'. For those of you who do not know, the great Cape Breton fiddler Jerry Holland is currently in the hospital with bone cancer in his leg. The will be amputating it soon. This means a huge loss of income for Jerry due to the fact that he will miss most or all of his summer concerts for the year, not to mention the pain and trauma of losing his leg. Jerry has written some of most popular and oft-played tunes in the trad genre, his tunes are known and played in every part of the world. He is also one of sweetest and most generous gentleman you will ever meet. I am including this little set of Jerry's tunes as a tribute and also to spread the word about his condition in the hopes that the many musicians that Jerry has touched over the years will be willing to help him out. Here's a note I received from a good friend of Jerry's: Dear friends, I'm passing along this message from Jerry Holland I am planning a series of fund-raising concerts and events, because he will undoubtedly be losing some work, although we all have our fingers crossed about his summer. You can also at any time send a check made out to him, and mail to me, Beth Telford, at 1060 Bent Hill Rd, Braintree, VT 05060. He has a local account where I can make deposits for him. Musicians, please email or call me if you're willing to help. As you all know, Jerry is not only a great musician but one of the finest friends a person could ever have. Please keep him in your hearts. He's the last person who would ask for help, but he needs it, and that's what friends are for. Thanks, everyone, Beth http://www.jerryholland.com Please help spread the word and say a prayer for this wonderful and humble man!
