Irish uilleann pipes, performed by Mr. Denis Delaney (1841-1919). Double Jig, 'Old Hag in the Kiln'. Born at Ballinasloe, Co. Galway and blind from infancy, he became a major reference point for Irish pipers. In his early days he played with and was reputedly taught by pipers Wills, Costello and Rainey, all of whom then circulated around Ballinasloe. From 1860 to 1890, in teh pre-dance hall era, he travelled over a large area in an ass and cart, playing at house parties, fairs, crossroads céilís, festivals and weddings. He was also a regular competitor in feiseanna throughout Ireland in the early 1900s, winning more than twenty first prizes. In latter years he played on a Kenna set acquired in 1873. In 1916 he was arrested by the RIC at the Mountbellew fair for playing 'seditious tunes', this earning him thereafter the title of 'The Rebel Piper'. A professional, he also played for members of the gentry willing to pay him. This is a copy from an Ediphone cylinder recording of his rollicking style made at the Feis Cheoil held in 1899.
