Sorry for yet another topic haha, oh well, I must see more! I can’t wait for the French one in my other topic, but from what I’ve seen so far rocked!
Cheers and Troublesome times!

Try Phil Hardy’s movie section of his website. I love Paddy Keenan, so I have his page in that section bookmarked on my computer and I’ll just give you that lik. You can get the other stuff from there. highly recommend checking out the Jarlath Henderson clip in the Misc section. Cheers!

Mikie Smyth’s regulator work…
There’s an AVI file of him at: http://www.nvup.nl/
click sound files
Is there anyone in the Dutch Piper’s club who mighht have video’s of Mikie Smyth’s entire concert or is that not allowed to be passed around. If it is, I’d love to have a copy, I listen to the audio clips almost every day.
The time now seems right when we should be getting DVD albums of our favorite pipers. Not to replace our favorite CDs, but uilleann pipers especially need pictures of how to play, with closeups of the hands on the chanter, not just how they should sound. Nothing could be more instructive than entire albums by movies.
Anyone want to be first? Or has someone already done an album like this? (not instruction videos) I’m imagining a solo piper, maybe with fiddler or one other instrument. We did have a short video clip of Keenan and Frankie Gavin, but that was way too short…something like 30 seconds. Where’s an entire album, I repeat?
Tara has the Liam O’Flynn video “The Piper’s Call”. I was hoping they would re-issue this on DVD, but they say they can’t afford it. I’m going to have to replace my video tape of this soon, as its wearing out.

…sounds like a pipe dream to me. 
I’ve been listening to the album for years (some good B piping in there), but what is the video like? Closeups? Or, full-body shots? More of a full-band shot from a general distance? We don’t esp need pictures of their facial expressions, but rather shots of what they are doing with their hands on the chanter and regulators. Something we can slow down and study…what he/she was actually doing during that pip-pip-pip triplet or backstitch, or how that sudden upper B note was vented. There’s books, but you know they all do it differently, same with bending notes.
And I might add…same goes for reed-making movies. Long overdue there AlanB. Books only take it so far. I have a video of an expert professional making an oboe reed–from start to finish–in about 20 minutes. The tape doesn’t stop or get edited. Nothing has ever had me so close to the edge of my seat, almost spellbound.
BTW, I think I have the equipment to transfer video to DVD.
I’d love to see, and subsequently purchase, DVDs on the material you suggested Larry. But I have to wonder if there will be a big enough demand to make ventures like this profitable for their producers.
For a few hundred $$$ in equipment, to make copies by hand (it’s got to be as easy as burning CDs), why wouldn’t BK or someone make a DVD to sell for $30-40 at all those workshops? I think he could make a bundle. My DvD recorder/player – DVD Ram/DVD-RW (Panasonic DMR-E50) only cost about $350 on sale at Wal-Mart. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think I can simply plug a video into the back of the machine inputs and start recording on a disc. The machine came with a disc that lets you record up to 9 hours of movies, and then erase and rerecord if you want, but all I’d need is a cheaper one-time record disc (I think).
Lorenzo, the Piper’s Call video is not necessarily a microscope on O’Flynn; lots of cuts from player to player. O’Flynn sits with his usual pre-occupied expression. His fingers come off the chanter about 1 - 2 mm so its pretty hard for me to guess what he’s doing most of the time. And of course, its group music so you are trying to pick out what he is doing over the top of the other instruments.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I found the Allan Moller reedmaking video from NPU instructive just to watch what he does.
