Thanks for the fantastic links. The Uilleann pipes are amazing, I don't think I'd ever seen their like! I've discovered that my 5-month-old really loves the sound, he wanted to get up and dance a jig. Unexpected and heartwarming.

I finally found a wonderful performance video of a player on the Uilleann pipes that I saved ages ago! It's unfortunately on Facebook, but this is beautiful playing (particularly on the regulators): https://www.facebook.com/UCDChoralScholars/videos/778612952215487/ https://www.facebook.com/UCDChoralScholars/videos/7786129522... And yeah, sometimes the sound just gets you going! The drones in particular have a peculiar effect and for some people they just get right inside your head. There's really only two historic instruments that implement proper drones; the pipes, and the hurdy gurdy. There's something really ancient and stirring about drones in music!
