THE GREAT UILLEANN YOU-TUBE THREAD.

Those two recordings at the end of the video of the Salamanca & Pat Ward’s jig are also on Termonfechin 1974 recordings on Na Piobari Uilleann website.

Pat Ward’s Jig is misnamed with Castle in the Air though… :laughing:

Though I don’t think it might have been the same place though.

Pat Ward’s Jig is misnamed with Castle in the Air though

Castles in the Air was definitely on the version I saw, he sang a verse of it too after playing it. It’s not unlikely EdeB filmed Ennis at Termonfeckin for Miles and Miles..

And (on a pedantic note) in MaMoM he played Duke Gordon, not Salamanca.

There is Castle in the air 1 and 2 on there, so we might have found different ones.



Oh and I probably got you mixed up :blush: , I was talking about when he played Salamanca before playing Pat Wards.

Very confusing. In Pat’s uploaded video Ennis plays Duke Gordon followed by Pat Ward’s. In the version I originally saw, and recorded, he played Duke Gordon, Castles in the Air and then Pat Ward’s. I don’t know about the Source version.

I lifted a clip from my version of the film, to resolve the whole thing (hopefully). Note he places the performance venue ten miles or so northeast of the Naul, which I believe just about puts you in Termonfeckin Co Louth.


Castles in the Air _ Ennis, from Miles and Miles of Music

I guess you’re right. :blush:

Seems we both saw a different version on MaMoM. Duke Gordon, and then Castles in the air, and then Pat Wards. They must of cut the Castle slice out on MaMoM.

I must be confusing Duke Gordon with the Salamanca. :tomato: :tomato: :tomato:



Anyways it’s cool to hear a 2/4 measure on them Uilleanns. Are there any more of those to listen to in the box site? I like them! :wink:

In fairness, they’re similar and Ennis usually played them together. And more often than not he botched the transition by mixing them up.

I usually take tunes uploaded to my box account down after a while, not much to see there.

I think there is a clip of himself playing one of those two tunes (Duke Gordon I think, but it said Hand me Down) around 1981.

It is briefly see in the great documentary about him Ó Bhéal Go Béal: Séamus Ennis.

Does anybody have that clip?

This clip though is one of my favorites. It’s what got me into uilleann piping, even flat sets too. Some squeaks and missed octaves, but full of heart and expression, can’t count how many times I’ve watched it (Hundreds maybe) I still find new stuff I never heard before.

He played those two quite often. Anyhow, you really want to listen to his piping when he was really on the form, for Hand me down the Tackle(and into My Love is in America) probably the recording at Tom Queally’s during the 1958 Fleadh in Miltown.

I’ve just ordered The Return from Fingal (And The Pure Drop) to expand upon my collection. :smiley:
He sure was an amazing player when he was younger! What was his illness again?

I’ve mostly heard recordings of him in the later years, still wonderful as always though.
The Wandering Minstrel being one of my favorites. Kind of eerie to listen to though, too long to explain why though, but that’s one of the reasons I love the Album! (Someone talked about a voice sound heard while he was playing tunes, which apparently came from the chanter)

the womad piper is none other than james o’grady on his williams set

lots of young boys playing on ronan browne’s own youtube site - lots of tiny hands straining, but successfully, to play ginormous flat chanters - what an opportunity, getting your start on the pipes from such a master.

Japanese piper.

Some annoying foreign noises sometimes.

I removed the old version of two films I had posted to YouTube and tried to improve the sound. This new versions have been EQ’d and are now louder also. I know it doesn’t sound like it but it is actually an improvement. I hope you enjoy them!
