Classic pipe tunes here. The Flood on the Holm is actually a tune made famous by the great Donegal fiddle player Johnny Doherty. The tune was then ushered into the modern uilleann piping tradition thanks to the stellar playing of Mr. Robbie Hannan. The final tune comes from James Ennis, the father of the legendary Seamus Ennis.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

Nick's settings and playing of these old tunes on his instrument are just superb. When I first saw his track list I was shocked, He had found more tracks from Oscar and Malvina than I had in years of searching. This album remains a musical and academic delight! Wetootwaag
