Colm is a member of Na Píobairí Uilleann, the union of pipers in Ireland, with whom Liam passed his collection to. The 22-year-old, who bases much of his repertoire on O’Flynn’s writings, has possession of the pipes for his lifetime.
Patrick, who plays the fiddle, and Colm are friends from the festival circuit going back a number of years.
