Patsy Touhey 'The Piping of Patsy Touhey' [Na Píobairí Uilleann]

'Pat Touhey (1865-1923) was the most successful of the vaudeville pipers. He was in show business for at least 36 years and thought of himself as a comedian and actor. Touhey was also a virtuoso on the Irish pipes and well-regarded as a piper in his day. These accomplishments might today be forgotten - or nearly so - except that influential recordings of his playing survive. His part in the history of the instrument is secure and his influence on piping is still felt...' livesofthepipers.com/1touheypat.html Produced by Terry Moylan & Pat Mitchell Remastering and production of original cassette: Harry Bradshaw Na Píobairí Uilleann Issued in 2005
