Hey folks,
just watched a performance of the german medieval band In Extremo on TV when they were presenting their contribution for Thüringen to Germany’s end elemination for the Eurovision Song Contest…they’re contributing with their new single, called “Liam”. And they used uilleann pipes, for the very first time in their complete history. You see the coherence?
On one hand, I like that the pipes are introduced to other musical styles - they fit quite well to the medieval rock music in principle, but on the other hand - they dare to call their song “Liam”? If the pipes at least would have been played in an “irish” way…but they sounded just like somebody who knows how to play a german medieval bagpipe tries to immitate their sound on the pipes. Without many success, of course..
Just had to vent my “anger”. 
Greetings,
- Gabriel
