Video from Basel Tattoo 2012

Here is some cool video from the Finale of the Basel Tattoo production I just played in. I play the flute solo (on a Bb conical bore fife) for a piece called the "Band of Brothers". It was an HBO series about E Company 101st Airborne during the Second World War. It was very emotional for me to play as my father was in D Company and they announced that each show. There were 18 shows for over 8000 people each show so it was a huge event. I hope you enjoy me and my "back-up band" of about 500 musicians and singers!

Skip Healy and Ronan Regan with Olivier Leclercq @ Grottegyggser Fasnachtskeller, Kohlenberg 7, beim Barfüsserplatz

I will be playing a concert with a great friend of mine from Ireland, Mr. Ronan Regan. Ronan is a fantastic fiddle player and also WORLD CHAMPION Irish "Sean-Nos" (old style) dancer. This is an amazing dance form, not the "Riverdance" style everyone knows but the original Irish style step dancing. This will be a great day of music and dance. If you enjoyed my last concert with Seamus O'Kane, you will LOVE this one too!

New Chromatic Fingering Chart added to the Site

Hi Everybody,

After far too much thinking, I have added a revised fingering chart for my 10 hole Chromatic system instruments to the site.  It may be a bit confusing but it's the best I could come up with, any suggestions for future editions of it are welcome.  You will see this "For a 10 hole fingering chart, see this link;  http://www.skiphealy.com/chart/" in all sections pertaining to 10 hole instruments.  I hope it helps!!
