The Wild Keys, by Mikie Smyth

The Wild Keys

by Mikie Smyth

supported by

Faliq Auri One of the best Uilleann Piping album to me. Listening to Mikie's piping is more than a music, it's a therapy, a stress relieved, calm, and soothing. One of the master in Uilleann Piping world today. Favorite track: O'Sullivan The Great.

redpanda3800 This is more than just uilleann pipe playing. This is beyond everything I have heard in irish folk - The Wild Keys is thrilling, meditative, sweet, catchy and a beautiful piece played by master piper Mikie Smyth. Regulator Magic! 10/10 Favorite track: The Harvest Home.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

Uilleann Tales

McMullan's playing is remedy for the hyped up, tickity-tackity playing you hear a lot these days. I hope to God I will never hear "Clumsy Lover" again, but if I do I pray it is Chris playing it. Rusty Gully
