1992 video of Frank Edgley playing at Comhaltas Ceoltoirí Éireann, Detroit


Recommended Posts

He's playing with Frank Jr. on Fiddle and my longtime friend & Irish music mentor the late Al Purcell on uilleann pipes. Frank's duet with son is at 13:20 minute mark.

Were getting together in a couple of weeks after 5 years apart (Covid, border tightening, etc), so thought I'd dig up some old footage to tease him with, great stuff!

Nice job on those Frost jigs.  Were you playing one of your own, Frank?

 

Nice to see Al play Sliabh na mBan, too.  Al's father Leo was a piper as well.  I like telling people a story I heard about how Al would fly through some bit of dance music, when he was done Leo would just shake his head and ask "Do you have a train to catch?". 😄
