Moving Cloud App - Irish Music

[celtictiger]

Listened to Rte's Rolling Wave programme,guy from Na Piobairi Uilleann (Irish Piping)on there talking about Irish Piping.NPU have developed a new app called Moving Cloud.It brings together Video as well as audio an archive of Irish tunes.Although it was developed by a piping organisation there are other instruments i.e.. concertina,fiddle etc.

It looks a great resource for Irish tunes.

I did a search for concertina and there are quite a few Noel Hill videos as recently as 2014.

The app is available through iTunes and Google play - iPad and tablet versions.It's free.

You can however register and for 25 euro get access to the entire archive of 20.000+ tunes, photographs and manuscript collections.

 

All this is also on-line on the NPU website.

I've installed the App on an iPad and it looks promising, lots of good music there.

 

I have to comment that the experience of getting registered was a little rocky however. Easy enough to find the App in the App Store and install it, but once it's opened, you are presented with a screen that requests your user name and password - but no guidance or options if you don't have one.

 

I optimistically tried entering what I'd like to use, but that was rejected as invalid. No surprise there really. I went back to the App Store and re-read the description. No statements addressing the registration process but I tried the standard Apple App Store link to the "developer's website" which took me to "pipers.ie" and that gave me an option to register.

 

Edited to correct the website reference.
