Re: Women in Piping
Peter in your photo, who's the lady standing between Shiela and Emer, and who is the lady standing on Marie's right?
There are many other fine female pipers: Pamela Schweblin, Catherine Ashcroft, Becky Taylor, Tara Howley, Lottie Cullen, Grace Lemon, Rita Farrell to name a few

On this topic, also check out my article in the new issue on An Piobaire on Cork piper Miss May McCarthy and her tour of South Wales in December 1910.

Re: Women in Piping
Returning to this thread. There was a fantastic programme on The Rolling Wave on RTE last night on this topic, with Louise as a special guest. They spent the whole programme talking about her research on various historic and contemporary women pipers, and played some great recordings, both professional and homemade.
I was particulary proud to hear my original teacher and piping mentor Debbie Quigley of Toronto recognised on the programme for her musicianship and contribution to piping.
Well worth a listen.

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

But come on: by definition, to be a piper means not getting enough sun.
