Pipers on Sound Cloud

Not many pipers on Sound Cloud it seems? Who’ve you found?

I think I may upload on soundcloud, for criticism and progressive purposes.

I have a slight obsession with recording myself if I must say. :stuck_out_tongue:




Anyways, I’ve only found Derrick Gleeson heh heh.

Recording yourself is a great way of identifying things you’d like to improve that you might otherwise not notice while you’re playing. I definitely have a different ear when I’m playing than when I’m listening.

I just searched soundcloud and am still looking through so I’ll post again if I find anything cool :slight_smile:

Sorry about the sound quality :frowning:

I just made myself an account :slight_smile: , and I’ll see if I can make some recordings.

And people here can tell me if I am on the right track or not.


Edit: I have made a few recordings since but am nervous to show them!

Best of the local lot: Preston Ó hÍomhair, aka Preston Howard.

8

I’ve found Dicky Deegan!


I’ve found so much other pipers too, I don’t know where to start!!! :smiley: :heart:

I really enjoyed that! What make is his B set? And D set?

10

How does this happen? Preston Howard is in Maine, yet I don’t remember ever seeing him at a tionol, or even hearing his name. Who was his teacher I wonder? Where is he from? What lovely playing.

11

Hey father of ben, I believe that’s Portland, Oregon. Joey knows him.

12

I ran into him (and his playing ran into me!) at the Seattle tionol some years ago. Brilliant, tasteful player…not afraid of silencing the chanter! :thumbsup:

13

Brad Angus is the maker of his D set. I believe the B set was borrowed from another piper in Portland, which I think was made by Geoff Wooff!?

Preston is a fantastic piper and musician, and plays with great flair, style, and passion. He is definitely someone that needs to make a solo album in the future!

14

Oh. There’s another Portland? I guess I’ve become a true, parochial New Englander!

15

Sounds really nice!

16

Thanks. I just looked through his albums on FB. Says he borrowed that Wooff set from Ramon. Nice to know there’s one in the area!

Preston and friends have a band, Na Rósaí, with a CD out now, or out soon, it looks. Very talented kids. Portland is the “Rose City” in case you’re wondering what the name means. They used to play at the East Burn, down the block from Preston’s digs; I razzed them for a couple of years about their lack of a name. “PDX Celidh Band? Preston and Pals? Come on, anything!” I should order a copy of their record as I’m busy playing diddley music on Tuesday evenings which is when their weekly gig is as well and probably won’t catch them in the flesh any time soon…although Preston will be at the Seattle tionol next month, too. Assuming his school bus doesn’t crap out. :laughing:

Thanx for all contributions, the playlist grows.

Nice to hear the Ramon Martin set … 14 years on! He makes them sound good, well recorded and some humour… :stuck_out_tongue:

Fixed that for you :slight_smile:
