Finbar Furey - Traditional Irish Pipe Music

Finbar Furey needs no real introduction to Celtic music fans except to point out that when he released this magnificent album in 1969 he was only 21 years old and already a master of the Uillean Pipes. I took the following from the sleeve notes "The Fureys are a musical family. Finbar's father, Ted, is a well-known fiddler who for many years played in that center of Dublin music, O'Donahue's Bar in Merrion Row. Finbar's arrival in Britain was preceded by his reputation as the youngest player ever to spellbind an audience. The pipes have always been considered an instrument to be mastered only in maturity. Possibly Finbar will be a great piper at the end of twenty-one years' playing, but certainly he was already a staggeringly good piper after just twenty-one years of living".....enjoy
