Central London (UK) pipers gathering

Post by buskerSean »

As the wonderful London Uilleann Pipers Club are now in way out South West London I thought it might be nice for a few of us inner city pipers to meet up for a few tunes and such. I have mailed LUPC to see if they want to be involved, and London Irish Centre in Camden are keen to host us. So who's game for a January bash in Camden Square?

It is possible that I will be in London at some stage during January. Perhaps I could drop by and say hello. :)

I'll certainly contact you Sean... just don't hold out to set a date for your meeting on my behalf... a visit to London in Jan. is only a 'definate possible maybe'.. which dépends on quite a lot.. including Weather/Family/Health and Money! :party: Looking forward to the party.

Ok, Geoff. If the meet proves popular we could always go monthly. Preferably with some LUPC involvement.

Geoff, great to have you on board - hope you know that a condition of your attending is that you provide a fully-keyed chanter with ivory and silver fittings to be raffled to a lucky winner - all in furtherance of the cause of the promotion of uilleann piping in London
all the best

Hello Sean
Are you thinking to start a regular meeting?

What is parking like there?

I would be interested in coming along when I have time although I am only a beginner.
The Twickenham meeting is just a shade too far for me.

Are there any pipers who meet out Essex way?

Iain

I'd like to drop in as well - the LUPC meets have always clashed for me so another evening would be fantastic.

We'll miss you Rich, I'll @ you if the session is still going on Thursday morning!

I am hoping for this to become monthly. 'Camden Pipers Club' anyone?
