Words cannot describe the brilliance of this performance. Never in my life have I seen someone using the regulators in such a way. Amazing and breathtaking!!!
A masterclass in regulator work! I always wondered why ye olde Uilleann pipers were mad enough to add them to an already complex instrument- there's why!
Great playing, wild wrist regulator work!! I'll make it a personal project to replicate 1 bar of this reg playing by Christmas 2014! I hope in other performances the drone mike has captured / will capture more of the bass. Most of these flat sets have in their different sounds beautiful bass tone that's too often not captured in live amplified playing.
If I remember correctly, this set's bass drone was wonky and he only used it when he needed it to play the 4th relative to the tonic. It was a really cool sound and he used it that night when playing the "long" Ennis version of the Fox Chase.
It is a C# set, although it might not be playing 'IN' C#... this model is more likely in the same pitch as Seamus Ennis' pipes which usually are about half way between C and C#. It was based on a very similar 'Coyne' set to Ennis'.
Amazing performance but I'm curios why he shortens the "A" section by half? All of the versions with which I'm familiar the A and B sections are both 8 measures, each repeated. The "C" and "D" sections are 4 measures each (both repeated).
Amazing blessed Wonderfull. Supreme❤❤❤❤❤thanks❤

I can't help but think that the Uilleann pipes were invented by a man who had trouble finding other pipers to play with him!
well done Mikey. its been a long time from templemore!!

jeesus! a master! never seen regulator playing quite like it! :)
I recognize that palm tree!
mikie, you're a mad bollix. i didn't think there was anyone out there who exercised their right wrist more than me! ;)
love,

I tried first part and it goes well, starts from D :) Other are in higher octave so not really possible.
Depends on what camp of reg playing you're in, but I'd say Mikie's just having a bit of fun! :)
Sounds like a C natural set, can anybody confirm or tell me what pitch this is? :) very nice sound

Holy friging mackerel, is that what regulatores are for?
