Cobblestone gigs
This year I didn't go to the piping classes, but to the reedmaking class and learned a lot! A great experience.
For more pictures about the WKPF and more information you should visit the Armagh Pipers Club website.

Of course, this is NOT in Armagh. On my way up I stayed a couple of days in Dublin, and this is the Monday evening session in the Cobblestone. A special occasion for me: this was the first session in Ireland I ever played in!!!

I'll have to look up all the names, but these were the members of the Italian trio, including one musician (see below) on the Zampogna. What a lovely instrument that is...

Jose from Asturias. Every single time when he stopped playing and someone started another Irish tune on the uilleann pipes, the Irish tunes sounded so BORING in comparison to Jose's playing...

Fred Morrison. What can I say. He's.... Fred Morrison... Great on the uilleann pipes, small pipes but... give this man a set of border pipes and you'll here music that's not from this world. Incredible.

A flat session!!! In B. I love that sound. Andrew May (middle), Rick Lines (right) and Feargal French, who's got a lovely Andreas Rogge B-set that drew a lot of attention.

I didn't know what to expect of a 'Schools Concert'. Whas it in a school, was it by students? Well, it soon all became clear to me as you can see..

If you have the chance you MUST go see the exhibition in the county Armagh museum. It lasts until June 2002. Great sets of pipes, a lot of information and works of piping related art.
This is the 5 regulator Maloney set (spelling?)... More information will be added later about this set. It looks impossible to play...

A (the?) William Kennedy set. Incredible that this set was made by a BLIND pipemaker. When you look at the crafmanship it makes your mind dazzle that it was all done by touch and feel alone.

There are other pictures of this set in the picture gallery: this is the O'Mealy set on loan from the Ulster Museum and is displayed MUCH better. At least now you can see what it looks like without a harp getting in your view.
