Maybe you were just nervous or something! But it’s some great playing, nonetheless. Good to have you on the programme. --Breandán

I wouldn’t have been aware of the speedup had you not mentioned it yourself. Very crisp and clean nonetheless. Seemed like the speed fit the tune nicely.

Great playing Tim. If you can play the fourth part of this jig well (and you did) then you’re not playing too fast!

I echo previous comments. You’ve a great style and control of the instrument. Clearly this speed was not too fast for you.

Nice playing Tim. A well executed tune and a very difficult jig on pipes, especially the fourth part. Nice regulator playing too.
The chanter sounds well and balanced. Who made it?

Hello! I’ve got a tin whistle and thought I would look to see if you are still playing. I still remember hearing you play back in Pinner Park
I’m playing that too fast! Sorry...!
