"Misla" includes the Dublin uillean piper Tommy Martin, don't they? No small piping there. His set is said to comprise components of the pipes from the great Leo Rowsome. I heard Rowsome's wild style from the first notes that I heard fly from Tommy's chanter. He comes by the music honestly enough as I've seen a pic of his grandfather, Tommy Martin, playing the pipes at a feis in Wexford circa 1924.

If they suffer requests I'd ask Kevin Buckley to roll out his rendering of the epic fiddle tune, "Lord Gordon's". To paraphrase the Diageo marketing team - Brilliant!

I understand that Eileen Gannon is an All-Ireland champion on the harp. I cannot say I know of Ian's music. (Let's just hope he's not one of those band-members-brother types come over to see America.) I'd say you're in for a treat.
