I need a good picture of an uilleann player...

Post by WyoBadger »

...preferably in the act of playing the uilleanns. This is for an educational brochure I'm doing on Irish trad instruments.

I looked through some of the "pictures" thread (Holy smoke, these things are beautiful!), but a picture of pipes alone wouldn't make much sense to a non-musician without the context of the player.

So, anybody have a good picture of themselves that you'd give me permission to use?

Thanks!

There are pictures of pipers at NPU (real pipers :wink:). There are pictures of Seamus Ennis and Willie Clancy on various web sites. There are occassional images on eBay. Pat D'Arcy's <A TARGET="NEW" HREF="http://www.uilleannobsession.com/index. ... ">Uilleann Obsession</A> web site has scads of images of pipes and pipers, old and new. You could spend hours there.

Which isn't the same as using for a brochure is it?

Yep, thanks djm, but Peter's right--I have to have permission from the photographer.

Do you want a modern picture?

I know that all photographs taken before 1923 are public domain in the US.
Even if a photograph is public domain, somebody has taken the time to find it and digitize it.

Why not write to NPU and ask if they have any photos?
They must have some promotional materials in a press pack that you could use for non-profit works.

Thanks, Steve. Can't get it to come up; tried copying and pasting and got a 404 error.

The good news is that you don't look miserable. Just invisible. :)

What do you mean? He really looks like that. Especially after a Hefeweizen or two.
