Eoin Ó Riabhaigh at 3 Rivers Rising Festival

Uilleann piper and pipe maker Eoin Ó Riabhaigh on how he got the nickname Rabies, ambitions to record in Nashville, and the slightly grisly tale of Canon Goodman's pipes, which Eoin has to this day.

“My favourite is playing in the corner of the pub, with no gear, no pressure, no nothing. My second favourite would be a studio. I love studios; I think there’s a really creative thing happening in there. My least favourite would be a stage. Playing for my public doesn’t do it for me at all…I hate being the front guy, you know? The responsibility of it.”
