My wife and I went to see Mark Knopfler and Bob Dylan perform last night in Washington and were please to hear Michael McGoldrick playing uilleann pipes, flute and low whistle in Mark Knopfler’s band.
Mark Knofler seems to have a fondness for the Uilleann pipes alright and Irish music in general.

He talked about what he likes about the pipes on LiamO’Flynn’s “The pipers call” and played on that album
Here he is with Mr McGoldrick
