In Pursuit of Excellence The Story of an Uilleann Pipe Maker

Martin Preshaw lives in the beautiful heart of Co. Fermanagh making Uilleann pipes. In this film Martin tells the story of how he became an Uilleann pipe maker, what is involved in making this most wonderful of all the bagpipes, and how he almost gave it all up. This is a story not just for those who love Uilleann pipes but a touching human story of how others impact us so positively bringing us to places in life we never imagined. The music in this documentary is all played on Uilleann pipes made by Martin. Two wonderfully talented pipers, Pádraig McGovern and Peter McKenna play jigs, reels and slow airs showing the true beauty of these instruments. This documentary is the first made by Fr. Darragh Connolly. darraghconnolly.com
