Shwmae!
For those interested, I'm organising a Welsh Bagpipes and Pibgorn Day in Ystradgynlais on October 14th. It's at a local scout building, with several rooms and a wonderful old hall.. There are also beds and bunks available in the Hall, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen. It's a fabulous building at the top end of the Tawe Valley in South Wales. Other accomodation is available locally. There may well be a session on the previous Friday, and I'm working on some things for Sunday too.
There will be workshops and sessions: the history of pipes in Wales; building a repertoire; tunes we should all know; taster sessions on Weish pipes and pibgorn; absolute beginners whistle. Probably more!
We'll only charge enough to cover costs. I'm not applying for grants or paying anyone- this is a chance for like-minded people to get together, share their experiences and insights, and play tunes. There will be a session/tmpath/noson lawen in the evening.
If you already play, or are just curious, here's your chance!
