WATCH: This video of a young girl playing the uilleann pipes is absolutely class

What a talent.

So many fully grown adults wish they spent their childhood learning to play an instrument.

It’s a talent that sticks with you forever, and is a brilliant thing to be able to do.

But seeing a child being able to play an instrument 100 times better than you ever could can be a little bit disheartening.

And that’s how we feel looking at Sorcha Ní Scolaí, an under-12 Uilleann Pipe champion.

Originally posted on FleadhTV, Sorcha won the Leinster Fleadh which took place in Bagenalstown in County Carlow on Sunday.

Check out the video below, it’s absolutely class.

We’re torn watching this video.

On one hand, we’re blown away by such a talent at a young age, and on the other hand we’re a little bit jealous of just how good she is…

It’s brilliant to see a young girl playing a traditional Irish instrument so well. Here’s hoping that she keeps it up.

All we know is that we haven’t heard the last of Sorcha Ní Scolaí.
