It's a truly amazing set. Nearly everyone's reaction is one of surprise, as it doesn't sound at all like a "concert pitch" set - most think from the sound that it's in C# or even lower. The actual pitch (as currently set up - and what it seems to 'want' to play in) is only about 30 cents below A=440.

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

That's Ronan Browne behind Mick O'Brien and sean Sean potts.
Could be the same guy.
Photo also features Nollaig Carthy and Brian Vallely; the name of the gentleman lower right escapes me at the moment but I know it. Kevin's crop of the photo doesn't include the fellow Miki is asking about.
