Peter Flynn of Dublin?

Post by Steampacket »

Just listened to a jig played by Peter Flynn.

"This is my grandfather's maternal uncle. He was born about 1890 and died in 1982. Peter did have a large collection of pipes and other instruments and, according to my grandmother, was very protective of his collection. He was a fierce republican, a fluent Irish speaker and drove a Morris Minor. This is the first time I ever heard him play. I am a piper too although in the other tradition of the Great Highland Pipes.
A comment by "The Middletone"

Does anyone know more about Peter Flynn? What happened to his collection of instruments? Were they sold off or given to a museum?
