Jimmy has been re- searching the music of the pipers who flourished in the first half of the 19th century, with a particular focus on the celebrated Galway piper Paddy Con- neely, whose music, as notated and (sometimes) published by several different collectors, forms the content of this CD, and whose portrait, painted in 1839 by Frederic William Burton, adorns its cover.
