Topic Restarted.
Thanks Joe. Just to clarify folks. One of the guest pipers is Marion McCarthy. She is Tommy’s sister in law and is a very very fine piper. She is the daughter of Tommy McCarthy and she plays his Rowsome set. Greatly looking forward to hearing her play. I heard her first on the “McCarthy Family Album” which features Tommy Keane’s wife Jacqueline on concertina.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Pea Soup!
Patrick.

We have just received word that pipemaker Martin Preshaw will be joining us for the tionól this year along with Tommy Keane, Marion McCarthy, David Quinn, Michael Hubbert, Michael O’Donovan & Kevin Crehan.
Patrick.
YEE HAW- Get to me the maker! Great news! Guess I’ll be hanging out in the reed makers area
Hi Larry
I will get a check to you this Sunday at Gaby’s.
Looking forward to another good Tionol.
The pre-reg deadline is TOMORROW, Sept. 15! I’ll accept “postmarked by” so get busy out there. Thanks to all who have pre-registered (including the slightly withered Mr. Kleen).
No E(xcuses)
Oh! How my star has dimmed! ![]()
BUMP!
Those of you who are planning to attend but haven’t pre-registered, please send an e-mail to larry@socalpipers.com to let me know you’re coming.
Thanks!
Larry
couldn’t you bring along jackie mccarthy as well???
You would think wouldn’t ya
Problem is there is a grand total of about 3 concertina players in and around our club and we are so over reaching our budget with the crew we have already that it just wouldn’t be practical. Marion and Tommy will be great though - it’s going to be a brilliant tionol! Have you heard “The Family Album”?
Patrick.
I’m hoping we’ll have enough concertina players to organize our own squeeze-in between piping classes…
Careful now…that sort of nonsensical talk will get this topic locked up quicker than you can press one of those lil buttons on the 'tina! ![]()

Joseph -
Are you coming to this tionol? I know it is a long way for you. Hope you can come. There will be cane there for you if you do.
The baby won’t be allowed to smoke on the plane however.
- Tom
Heya Tom.
One of these years when finances allow, I’d love to make it out there (hopefully, the baby will have kicked the habit by then
). But alas, it will not be this year.
Hope it’s a good one for those who do attend.
