	The Cup of Tea, The Floggin' Reel - Phil Martin Irish bagpipes solo, Regal-Zonophone IZ 711. Martin was from Ballagh, Co. Fermanagh. He was a very dedicated piper, travelling far and wide to meet up with other musicians (despite being physically frail) and playing often on the radio, One person he inspired to take up the instrument was Sean MacAloon of Belfast, who taught many pipers in turn. Martin died in the late 30s at a young age. He usually played a flat set of pipes, pitch around 'C', but on this disc plays a concert 'D' set...

	Cherish the Ladies - Tom Ennis Irish bagpipes, Gennet 5283, Harry Race - piano. Ennis has a fascinating setting of this old five part jig, said to be a composition of the famous piper Jackson. There is also a nice two part setting from Sligo as well, recorded by both Michael Coleman and his student Hughie Gillespie, called the Pathway to the Well in a tunebook published by Mayo fiddler John McGrath.

	Four Courts of Dublin - Eddie Mullaney and Patrick Stack Irish bagpipes and violin, Victor 79012. Stack was from Co. Kerry, and is listed as source for many tunes in Francis O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903). Mullaney was born in Chicago, his family moving back to Co. Mayo before returning to America. Their music is a fascinating blend of Stack's somewhat mournful and wailing fiddle, and Mullaney's clean piping, full of graces and trills, very typical of pipers recorded in America at this time...

	Doran's Fancy, The Rambling Pitchfork - Felix Doran Irish bagpipes solo, Copley 9-194, recorded in the Moore Street studio, Dublin, 1949. Doran came from a family of travelling people; his brother Johnny was a renowned piper of phenomenal talent, who was also recorded on acetate disks two years previously. These disks were played on the radio in the late 60s and copied by fans, and became a source of inspiration for many modern pipers, showing astounding technique, imagination, and inspiration...

	Judy Hynes, Sullivan's Jig - Jimmie McLaughlin Irish bagpipes solo, Gennet 5356, Federic D. Wood - piano. As far as I know no biographical information has come to light about McLaughlin. His piping has much in common with Tom Ennis's, lively danceable music cleanly played. Both of these jigs, down to the settings and regulator accompaniment, were also recorded by Ennis; Judy Hynes Ennis called Nancy Hynes, and a setting from his father's piping is in the Music of Ireland...

	The Road to Galway, Jenny Bang the Weaver - Jimmie McLaughlin Irish bagpipes solo, Gennet 5356, Federic D. Wood - piano. As far as I know no biographical information has come to light about McLaughlin. His piping has much in common with Tom Ennis's, lively danceable music cleanly played. The Road to Galway is usually called the London Lassies, the title from O'Neill's books. Mullaney & Stack called it the Maid in the Cherry Tree, and their recording may be heard on the CD Wheels Of The World, Early Irish American Music, Vol...

	Boys of Bluehill, Fisher's - Leo Rowsome and Frank O'Higgins Irish bagpipes and violin, REX 5001. This record had "HIGGINS - VIOLIN" which almost certainly refers to Dublin fiddler Frank O'Higgins, a popular artist both on radio and recordings. I believe Frank was also the fiddler on the marches and jigs already reissued on Topic LP/CD. The two made for a very tight duet, with a very nice Scotch Snap in the Boys of Bluehill. This isn't the usual Fisher's hornpipe, but rather a tune usually called the Minstrel's Fancy...

This record had "HIGGINS - VIOLIN" which almost certainly refers to Dublin fiddler Frank O'Higgins, a popular artist both on radio and recordings. I believe Frank was also the fiddler on the marches and jigs already reissued on Topic LP/CD. The Leitrim Fancy comes from Michael Gallagher's 78, also to be heard on this site.

	Bonnie Kate, Miss Monaghan, Blackberry Blossom - Leo Rowsome and His Irish Piper's Band Irish bagpipes, violin, drum, HMV IM372. Two of this charming trio's recordings were reissued on the Classics of Irish Piping LP/CD. According to Sean Reid (who wrote the reissue's liner notes) it was an impromptu recording of Leo and two studio musicians who weren't players of Irish music, but read off charts Leo wrote out on the spot. These three reels have long been favorites of musicians and pipers especially; Bonnie Kate was recorded on cylinder by Patsy Touhey, the Blackberry Blossom by Mi...

	Humours of Bantry, Humours of Cappagh, Rakes of Clonmel - Leo Rowsome and His Irish Piper's Band Irish bagpipes, violin, drum, HMV IM480. Two of this charming trio's recordings were reissued on the Classics of Irish Piping LP/CD. According to Sean Reid (who wrote the reissue's liner notes) it was an impromptu recording of Leo and two studio musicians who weren't players of Irish music, but read off charts Leo wrote out on the spot. The Humours of Bantry is called the Blackthorn Stick in Scotland, which title is used for another jig nowadays in Ireland, and was also the title of a reel Micha...

	Miss McLeod's - Leo Rowsome and His Irish Piper's Band Irish bagpipes, violin, drum, HMV IM480. Two of this charming trio's recordings were reissued on the Classics of Irish Piping LP/CD. According to Sean Reid (who wrote the reissue's liner notes) it was an impromptu recording of Leo and two studio musicians who weren't players of Irish music, but read off charts Leo wrote out on the spot. One of the standard reels in old days. Francis O'Neill wrote of taking a trip home to Ireland in 1908 and hearing little else but "Miss McLeod and her brethren" ...

	Annie Laurie, A Hundred Pipers - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo - Scottish medley, HMV IM354. Leo had a huge repetoire of music and shows his versatility with Scottish music here as well, rendered as no other piper has since. His son Leon was also a piper and had a desire to play Scottish music on the accordion - which his parents forbid him to do until he became an adult! Leon later wrote in the early 90's of how the Belfast fiddler Sean McGurie let it be known that Leon needed to put the accordion aside and go back to playing the pipes ...

	Big Pat's, The Swallow's Tail - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W4681. Big Pat was a flute playing police officer who worked with Francis O'Neill at the Deering Street Police Station in Chicago. O'Neill named this reel in his honor, remarking that Big Pat would swing his legs to keep time, unlike the more typical practice of stomping feet. Leo picked up many tunes from books like O'Neill's, devising piping settings, many of which are found in the book the Leo Rowsome Collection of Irish Music...

	Boy in the Boat, The Morning Dew - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W5246. The Boy in the Boat is unique to Leo as far as I know, and very much a piping reel, with its prominent cranning on the bottom D. Leo's full stop just before proceeding into the second tune is a wonderful effect. Chicago piper and solid Rowsome fan Joe Shannon recorded this tune on the 70s LP he made with fiddler Johnny McGreevy, The Noonday Feast. The Moring Dew isn't the reel recorded by Michael Coleman, but rather the tune almost always called the Woman of the...

	Byrne's, The Killifane - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM528. Byrne's is an ever popular tune, also recorded by Michael Coleman and the Ballinakill Ceili Band on 78. Kilfinane (Cill Fhíonáin in Irish) is a small market town in southeast County Limerick, and this hornpipe was contributed to Francis O'Neill's books by Tipperary fiddler Edward Cronin. Cronin composed tunes and this may be one of his originals. This is likely an example of Leo adapting tunes from books, although he may have learned it from a Munster musician -...

	Conroy's Reel, The Glenallen - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca label, number unknown. Conroy probably refers to Andy Conroy, a Roscommon piper who was a close friend of Leo's, and probably his opposite in musical sensibilities - Andy's playing was almost experimental in its staccato, and he almost always played just the chanter - no drones. The tune Leo plays is called the Boys of Cappaquin in O'Neill's, and nowadays the Boy in the Gap... Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm; Fiddle Downloads: 406
	Drops of Brandy, Barney Brannigan - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W4681. The light speed tempo of Drops of Brandy makes sense when Leo goes into his charming version of Barney Brannigan, which is more complex than the book setting generally played, with its characteristic trio of dotted quarter notes at the opening of the third part. Leo fills out these notes melodically instead. He was recorded by Ciaran MacMathuna in the 60s, and played Barney B and the Drops of B with fiddler Larry Redican, resulting in less-than-perfect synchroni...

	Gallowglass, The Girl at the Spinning Wheel - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM1001. The first jig is a complex tune, derived from the Scottish Niel Gow's Lament for (the Death of) his Brother. Leo really shows his command of the regulators in the Girl at the Spinning Wheel, most notably with his marvelous syncopation and the big gC - gB chord at the end of each part. A friend who played Leo's pipes said they fairly played themselves, they were so airtight and had such light playing reeds, which goes far to explain how he could casually use effec...

	George White's Favorite, Colonel Fraser - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, REX 15044. George White was said to be a NYC bar owner, honored in this reel first recorded by Sligo fiddler Paddy Sweeney. When I was learning the pipes my tutor (who was a big Leo fan) always insisted Leo played the 1812 Overture on the regulators in Colonel Fraser. Never quite heard it myself! This is one of the great piping reels, and a tricky tune to play, found in innumerable versions on all instruments...

	God Save Ireland, The Soldier's Song - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Winner 4262. Two patriotic marches played in grand style. The Soldier's Song was composed in 1907 by Peadar Kearney and curiously enough replaced God Save Ireland as the Irish national anthem. More of Leo's 78 RPM recordings may be heard on the CD "Classics of Irish Piping" on the Topic label. Leo's 50s LP Ri Na Bpiobairi (The King Of The Pipers) has also been reissued on CD.

	Jackson's Morning Brush, The Clare Jig - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM525. Jackson was an 18th century piper/composer who gave his name to many fine tunes, most famously this one, which lends itself well to the pipes with room for cranning and staccato passages. Patsy Touhey recorded a typically intricate three part version on a wax cylinder, with one of his trademark flurries of notes in the third part. The Clare Jig is the title in John Roche's collection for the tune now called the Mug of Brown Ale...

	Manchester, The Honeysuckle - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F6254. The Manchester is an alternate name for Rickett's Hornpipe; also available on this site is the recording of Rickett's by piper Tom Ennis. Leo's version is faster, more free flowing perhaps, although both sound like good dancing music if the dancer were OK with the tempos (not the case these days). The Honeysuckle seems to have been a popular tune with old Dublin pipers such as Jim Brophy, whose playing of it was transcribed in a recent issue of the US publicatio...

	Primrose Lass, The Ivy Leaf - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM528. Both of these reels were recorded by Felix Doran on his Last of the Traveling Pipers LP, offering an opportunity for comparison. Felix used the regulators like Leo but was a much tighter chanter player, and was also a popular musician, especially with dancers. Leo included the Primrose Lass in his 1936 piping tutor, which is included in the Leo Rowsome Collection. Tom Ennis also recorded the Ivy Leaf, calling it the New Steamboat...

	The Ace And Deuce Of Pipering - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F6254. One of the old set dances, which had an irregular structure and special steps for dancing. In the liner notes of one of the recent Topic CD reissues of Irish 78s Reg Hall remarked that dancers found the set dances on records made by Gaelic League sponsored musicians such as Rowsome, Liam Walsh, and Billy Andrews, unsatisfactory in terms of tempo or structure. Whatever the case, Leo's playing leaves nothing to fault for timing, harmony, or liveliness...

	The Boys of the Lough, The Green Mountain - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM525. Rowsome's playing of the Boys of the Lough puts to rest the notion that he was merely an "Open piper," being chock full of precisely played staccato that is the equal of anybody (despite one squawk on the bottom D that is one of his rare recorded slipups). In fact I think he plays it a bit more staccato than Patsy Touhey did, and Touhey was the ne plus ultra of that sort of piping...

	The Broken Pledge, Miss Thornton - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM1001. The Broken Pledge is generally played with F natural notes, thus in the "key" of D minor, but pipers traditionally simply slid into F sharps, retaining the mournful sound of the tune. A couple of very interesting takes on this reel may be of interest: Seamus Ennis's extremely mannered version on his 40 Years of Irish Piping LP, where he combines extreme sloppiness with a very stretched out rhythm for a unique effect; and a privately recorded version by Galway flu...

	The Hunt - Nelius O'Cronin Irish bagpipes solo, Parlophone E3615. O'Cronin played with Leo Rowsome in the All Ireland Trio, according to Leo's son Liam. O'Cronin played flute in the group, Leo pipes, Seamus O Mathuna fiddle. O'Cronin also founded the Cork Volunteer Pipe Band. He died in 1930. I have always thought this was Leo himself playing the pipes, it is such beautiful music, and of such a high standard of playing. The original disc had a chip in its side, hence this dub beginning a few seconds into the recording.

	The Irish Emigrant, Wearing of the Green, Irish Rover, Minstrel Boy - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, REX15047. A stomping medley of marches. Leo recorded many marches and patriotic airs over the years and this is perhaps his finest set, with his amazing regulator triplets adding great drive to the music. More of Leo's 78 RPM recordings may be heard on the CD "Classics of Irish Piping" on the Topic label. Leo's 50s LP Ri Na Bpiobairi (The King Of The Pipers) has also been reissued on CD...

	The Maid of Mount Kisco, The Yellow Tinker - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, Decca W5245. The Maid(s) of Mount Kisco is said to be a composition of Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran, who recorded it in the 30s. His recording can be heard on the CD From Ballymote to Brooklyn, which is compiled from Killoran/James Morrison anthologies released by the Shanachie label in the 70s. Killoran played it very much as a fiddler might, with a prominent bowed triplet in the first bar; flute players and pipers like Leo very quickly substituted more standard rolls, and ...

	Who Fears to Speak of '98, Legion of the Rear Guard - Leo Rowsome Irish bagpipes solo, HMV IM354. A marching tune relating to the Irish Rebellion of 1798, followed by a song written by Jack Sheehan, a Republican prisoner in Hare Park Prison Camp in County Kildare, in 1924. These two present either end of a spectrum of difficulty for pipers, Who Fears to Speak of '98 is somewhat tricky to play while Legion of the Rear Guard is an excellent tune for a beginner, especially for learning to use the regulators...

	Swallow's Tail, Bonnie Kate, Milliner's Daughter - Liam Walsh and J. O'Mahoney Irish bagpipes and fiddle, unknown piano player, Edison Bell Winner 3914. Three grand reels from the Irish answer to Ennis/Morrison/Muller. Seamus Ennis paired Bonnie Kate and the Milliner's Daughter on acetates he recorded in 1940. These piping versions of Bonnie Kate are much different than the fiddle setting Coleman recorded in the 30s, which has become standard since.

	The Flogging Reel - Liam Walsh and J. O'Mahoney Irish bagpipes and fiddle, unknown piano player, Edison Bell Winner 3913. James O'Mahoney was featured in Francis O'Neill's book Irish Musicians and Minstrels. According to Tommy Kearney Walsh and O'Mahoney were "great pals." The Flogging Reel was often recorded on 78s, and many different versions exist for comparision.

	Biddy From Ballyvourney, Rolling Down the Hill - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, F2309. Walsh is heard here playing a flat set of pipes, unlike the concert pitch set(s) used on his other recordings. Walsh's student Tommy Kearney said that Walsh was prone to wanting another set of pipes - even if they were on the other side of the country, he had to have them. Sweet Biddy Of Ballyvourney is in O'Neill's; likely this is another instance of Walsh expanding his repertoire through sight reading...

	Dunphy's Hornpipe, The Woods of Kilkenny - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B1930. Walsh would record Dunphy's again in 1933. Woods of Kilkenny is a tune from O'Neill's. Walsh's student Tommy Kearney said that Walsh would go on the radio and sight read tunes from O'Neill's "fast as the reel." Like many other musicians pipers were fond of "The Book" and used it to expand their repetoire.

	Green Groves of Erin, Broom Reel - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B 2549. The Green Groves was recorded on wax cylinder by Jem Byrne, who like Walsh was a student of the Rowsome family of pipers. Leo Rowsome recorded the Broom reel the same year as Walsh. It is often called by its title from O'Neill's, Sheehan's reel. Keywords: Irish; Celtic; Bagpipe; Uilleann; Folk; Oldtime; 78rpm Downloads: 298 Average rating: (0 review)
	Haymaker's Dance (Mouse in the Cupboard, Rambling Pitchfork) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F 3818. Walsh's 1933 recordings included "Figure Dances" such as this one, and the Fairy Reel, Walls of Limerick, Rogha an Fhile, and Stack of Barley (which doesn't include the hornpipe of that name). These two jigs are played with outstanding punch and lift, Walsh was much more at home in the studio by this time and had perfected his very exciting combination of regulator tapping and lovely swinging chanter playing.

	Old Irish Set Dance-Single, Double, Hornpipe - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Edison Bell Winner 5219. This very curious item is a "Set Dance" in the later sense of the term, a group of tunes for group dancing, as opposed to the specialty Set Dances for a single dancer, such as the Blackbird or the Job of Journeywork, which Walsh also recorded. "Single, Double, Hornpipe" is on the label, but this trio of tunes are a polka, double jig, and a one part reel...

	The Blackbird (Decca version) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F3817. Walsh had recorded this earlier, but this version is much more exciting, with almost a "Scotch snap" feel in places, and an amazing syncopation between regulators and chanter, that is characteristic of the sides he made for Decca in 1933. Also the tempo is much more moderate than the often rushed speeds of his earlier sides. The flip side of this was Walsh's version of the reel the Bucks of Oranmore, which may be heard on Rounder's CD From Galway to Dublin.

	The Blackbird (HMV version) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B1947. Walsh re-recorded this for Decca nine years later. It is interesting to compare the two version, he seemed to gain confidence in his playing and have more of a sense of arrangement, as well as keeping his tempo down.

	The Fairy Reel (The One-Horned Cow, The Limestone Rock) - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, Decca F 3818. The label merely says "Figure Dance: The Fairy Reel," which like about half of Walsh's 1933 recordings was marketed as a ceili dance recording - the Fairy Reel is a group dance having nothing to do with the Scottish reel of that name, much like the Stack of Barley, which doesn't have to be danced using that hornpipe - which Walsh also recorded in 1933, using the hornpipes Alexander's/Dunphy's...

	The Frieze Britches - Liam Walsh Irish bagpipes solo, HMV B 2549. Walsh's version can be contrasted with those of Tom Ennis and Leo Rowsome. He plays a very sharp C note in the third part, much as he did in his recording of Rakish Paddy.
