Home the Archive Uilleann Pipes Artists' Homepages Picture Gallery Cobblestone gigs		March 1 - 3: 2nd Gein Piping Festival Just a couple of pictures of a rather quiet but very nice and relaxed Gein Piping Festival. The next one will be a Gein Uilleann Piping Day, on the Saturday, starting around 2pm and end ending around midnight. Well, the playing has to stop then at least. Again no problem to stay for the night. Friday night was a combined birthday party (Thirza's) and musical event, with Anthony de Waal, Marc van Daal, Rick Freen, Wietske Leenders, Roelof Rosendal and myself, if I remember correctly. On Saturday we welcomed Anthony de Waal, Patrick Broekema, Carel Lanters, Marc van Daal and Rick Freen to our house and on the Sunday Stijn van Beek dropped by for a few hours. All in all, again a nice enjoyable weekend! thmb_middle_DSCN3164.jpg popup preview (400 x 300, 37K) big image (1024 x 768, 176K) From left to right, Rick Freen, Marc van Daal and Anthony de Waal. thmb_middle_DSCN3167.jpg popup preview (400 x 300, 40K) big image (1024 x 768, 177K) thmb_middle_DSCN3168.jpg popup preview (400 x 300, 32K) big image (1024 x 768, 147K) Carel Lanters filming... thmb_middle_DSCN3169.jpg popup preview (400 x 300, 40K) big image (1024 x 768, 196K) Patrick on the left tuning his banjoline. What IS the correct name of this instrument? It's got the neck of a mandolin and the body of a banjo. Next to him is Carel on his practise set. thmb_middle_DSCN3170.jpg popup preview (400 x 300, 29K) big image (1024 x 768, 146K) Our cats, Tom and Sarah, sought refuge in our kitchen, although Tom didn't seem to mind the racid during the weekend at all.
