Whistle

RTE Ceolnet has a number of tune sets from Danny Donnelly and Padraic Mac Mathuna. Who are they and do they have any other recordings? Which guy plays guitar and which plays whistle/flute?

Thanks.

Mark

Padraig MacMathuna is a piper from Dublin, he is a son of RTE’s Ciaran MacMahuna, which should sound familiar. There is a CD ‘Blas na Meala’ of his piping, he also played on Na Piobairi Uilleann’s set dancing tapes from the 1980s and the fundraising CD (also included on both are heaps of other players) for the Mater hospital. where he works as a surgeon.
a photograph of him can be seen at:
