"ever cheerful and bouncy Patrick Hutchinson"
As my kids say: "sarcasm alert!"

The chanters are by Patsy Brown.

The good lookin' fellow in the middle with the red tartan bag cover is Frank Gibbons who used to live in the Bay Area. He is from Ireland.

Cheers! Richard

Left to right: back row as above, then Colin, Steve (holding a couple of Patsy Brown chanters), and Carl.
Front row: John , Molly , yours truly (holding what has been termed the "Austin Powers of bag covers"), Siobhán, and Andrew.

Not bad for a first meeting, if I say so myself.... We had a blast. I'll post a pointer here once we've worked out details of next meeting - if anyone has suggestions for a weeknight location that is accessible by public transportation (many don't have cars, and parking is tricky), feel free to pm me.

I'll see some of you in San Francisco next month.

There's a mailing list (with archives), photos from previous meetings. Anyone can join, all are welcome. See you there!

The Boston-area uilleann pipers' club experimented last month with a Sunday meeting. Since turn-out seemed no different from weeknight meetings, and some of use prefer weeknights, we're going back to that this month.

Next meeting is Thursday, May 3rd, from 7pm onwards at the Lutheran church, in Cambridge, MA. Directions, parking suggestions (such as they are!), etc. are on the club's website, http://groups.google.com/group/boston-uilleann-pipers.

There you'll also find pictures from past meetings (in high-res and also thumbnail, for our dial-up friends

), a few audio files of what we sound like, etc.

See you there!

-Frank

There's actually a New Boston in New Hampshire, I believe.

Isn't New Boston a fairly common food joint? New Boston Market?

Great photos btw. Nice to see girl power, keep the faith gals! Am I seeing things, or is Patrick Hutchinson actually smiling in one or two of those photos?

Mr. Wit Incarnate said: "Am I seeing things, or is Patrick Hutchinson actually smiling in one or two of those photos"

I believe that "smile" is known in the literature as "rictus hiberniaticus inguinalis." The symptoms were an aversion to lifting heavy objects, and a sudden unexplainable obsession with Scottish music.

My, that does sound like a desparate state of affairs.

However, I have it on good athority that a certain folk remedy (which generously combines Export-A's with quite a few tumblers of a particular Irish spirit) clinically referred to as bottomsupus adfumar, seems to relieve these symptoms more than just a little.

edited to add: And as for Mr. Wit Incarnate, I think that may be a bit too strong. Try reducing it a bit. Mr. Half-wit Incarnate seems a better fit.
