We are playing a nursing home, and a restaurant. I play with a fiddle and guitar. 
I play my uilleann pipes, SSP, and GHB. It is a bagpipe extravaganza!

My reeds still haven't fully recovered from the winter, so I'll just be sticking to the banjo and the whistle, unfortunately.
Fye now Johnnie, get up and rin

- 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.

Busking before the local parade, and playing for lunch at the local pub.
I teleported home one night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sidney's leg.

Playing at a nursing home lunch-time, then off to the Claddagh Cottage Pub tonight for their party. Unfortunately we play in the parking lot... fortunately it'll be 80 degrees in Orlando today!
Hadn't thought about busking... hmmm...
Good luck to all of you! May your reeds be happy and bright!

Re: Who's piping tomorrow 3.17.11 ?
Well, my piping events started last Wednesday.
I played Uilleann pipes for Gerry Breen, The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ireland, for a dinner in his honour at our local pub.
Then... on Saturday night I piped the Lord Mayor into the San Jose/Dublin Sister City dinner at the Marriott hotel on highland pipes.
Then... I played at C.B. Hannegan's pub in Los Gatos for a pre-St. Pat's event on Tuesday evening with some fellow musicians.
Now I am headed off to C.B. Hannegan's pub again for their St. Patrick's Day madness to play Uilleann pipes with some fellow musicians for a couple of hours.
All-in-all a good week for piping and GREEN cash!
Cheers! Richard
