Paddy Keenan’s spectacular virtuosity on the uilleann pipes is legendary. He achieved international renown in the 1970s for his solo recordings and his work with the late, lamented Bothy Band, a group that revolutionized the sound of Irish traditional music. Paddy’s piping prowess has not faded over the decades and his talent for up-tempo improvisation on reels, jigs and hornpipes must be heard to be believed. Paddy is also one of the great exponents of the “low whistle,” an instrument with an intimate, breathy tone that makes it a perfect vehicle for slow airs.
