NorthEast Tionol

Post by Johnered66 »

Well, I am all registered and set up at Gavin's. Looks like a great list this year and hopes to be a good time. Any others heading over? Looking forward to a few friendly pints with the great pipers here. Cheers.

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.

See you there Johnny! With any luck, I may have my new 3/4 Taylor style set from Nick Whitmer. If not, well then I shall continue on with the Hughes set which is currently playing well (fingers crossed- there's lots of weather changes ahead!).
Yes, we'll definitely share a pint or two!

Any recommendations for teachers? So far I have taken classes with Benedict K,. Eammon Dillon, Michael Cooney, Jerry O' Sullivan, and Cillian Valleley (sp?). Nice to have a variety of playing styles and perspectives. Suggestions?

@ Bensdad,

I don't think visiting All of the teachers over the weekend would be productive, but I agree with you.... if only there was more time. Given the constraints, can you narrow the field?

I can't narrow the field....too many great players/teachers, but I would also tell you to spend time with Michael O’Donovan in reedmaking. He is a reed guru - really knows his stuff, and is making great things happen with spruce as a material for chanter reeds!!

Thanks! I will make sure to do this. Do you know if it is a participatory class, or just a demo session like Seth Gallagher did last year?
