In the Times I was collecting bagpipes and trad music vinyls by dozens a month, I would for shure have buy this 33 tours just for the interesting and rare representation of the ~uilleann~border pipe…
I have this record, but I don’t recall any uilleann pipes or border pipes on the recording. Their 1986 vinyl record “A Dram Before Ya Go” has some whistle, guitar, bouzouki and bodhran on it…although they spell it “Bhodran” on the sleeve . Both are great records for their time.
Yes…it is an odd image on the cover. The version I have (which has the identical back sleeve) has a different cover with just the band name in gold on a maroon background).
True that… saw them performing and competing yesterday at the Highalnd Games at Costa Mesa in California. No uilleann pipes though…but Eric Rigler and his band Bad Haggis performed at the same festival and sounded fantastic.
