An Feirin

This is another great reel composed by American uilleann piper Jerry O’Sullivan. An Feirin means The Gift in Irish, and this was the title of his last CD. It is a fantastic tune for pipers, I had requested the tune, but thought I would not be so lazy and learn it from his CD. Enjoy.

Wonderful tune! I may just have to adapt it for the Highland pipes… I really like this one! Thanks for posting it!

An Feirin, X:2

This tune drives like a juggernaut! The low D and trebled d notes in the B-part are essential to the beat.
