There were quite a few uilleann pipers present (about six), but more interesting were all the pipes I've never seen before. Pipes from the France, Sweden, Scotland, Bulgaria, Hungaria, Galicia and lots more... Below you find a small selection of what was going on: there were simultaneous gigs so it was impossible to see everything. Apart from that, I spent quite some time playing with the other uilleann pipers and two harpists. Nice session! What struck me again is the fire and the passion of for example the Galician music. I mentioned before my Armagh experience: when José from Asturias finished playing and the uilleann pipers took over again even Paddy Keenan sounded so boring... and you know that THAT's quite some statement. Again, I'll wait for names and comments by the organizers to prevent horrible mistakes in the pipers' nationalities.
