Liam O’Flynn, Founder Of Planxty And A Modern Master Of The Irish Uilleann Pipes, Has Died At 72

O’Flynn collaborated with everyone from John Cage to Sinéad O’Connor – and even poets: “A further pairing was with the poet Seamus Heaney, who explained his love of O’Flynn’s playing: ‘The pipes call and raise the spirit. They also quieten and open up the daydream part of people.'”
