As some of you might know, some 3 years ago, Na Piobairi Uilleann asked pipers around the world to send in photographs of themselves with their pipes along with information on player and instrument (I contributed, of course). This was to document the state of uilleann piping at the end of the 20th century. Sadly, it seems, the outcome will not be made accessible to the public. I imagine this would be wonderful stuff for a book. Has anyone of you participated as well? And: does anyone know of further plans concerning this project?

They are still taking contributions I think, never got round to sending my own likeness I must admit. I did however [at the request of NPU] submit some 90 prints of different pipers. At the outset I was told very much what Kevin said above, it's an archive project and no plans for publication or exhibition were in place.
