Mikie Smyth was the guest piper during the Belgian Tionol this year.
I’ve put some sound clips and an AVI of his recital on the Dutch Uilleann Pipers Club website. If you’re looking for regulator inspiration check them out. http://www.nvup.nl
All the best,

Very nice. Thanks for putting these up, Evertjan.

I remember being in the piping class at the 1994 Fleadh Ceol in Clonmel with Mikie Smyth. He must have been only 10 or 11 years old at the time, but he was a real character. He enjoyed making fart noises with his bellows, but he was an explosive little player back then. It is great to see how he has matured.
I was the oldest in the class and was easily out-played by the kids. 
The names of the kids in the class that I remember, such as Flaithrí Neff and Mikie, have all gone on to become top pipers.

Great stuff. thanks Evertjan!!
Ah, thanks Evertjan. Love it! I like the excellent rendition of the Wild Geese on the last clip. Amazing! Anyone know the 2nd jig in the first clip… I couldn’t make out the name of it… MY Darling(-something-or-other)? Great tune!! Makes an airhead want to play jigs!!
Elbogo, “My Darling Asleep”.

Beautiful stuff! Something to strive for boys and girls!
Patrick.

He plays on “A New Dawn” available from NPU. It doesn’t do him justice though.

Yes, indeed 
Can I get an AMEN?!
AMEN, Brother!
THE MAN!
Eamonn? 
Isn’t that Brotha?
Brothel?
Thanks, djm, that is kinda what I thought, but wasn’t sure. Like I said makes me really want to get some jigs under my belt!
Something to strive for, indeed, Patrick, for years and years. It’ll be an amen for sure when I get there, playin’ jigs for the angels.
Sorry, Pat, I don’t believe in omens. Brothels, on the other hand …

I’d rather have a brothel in front of me, than a frontal labrothel…er…ie?
er, anyone have a Wooff C set for sale… I’d work for a year in a brothel for one…
