Would anyone have contact details of a pipemaker named Joe Kennady living somewhere in Northern Ireland?
Thank you
Kevin King
To the best of my knowledge, he’s moved back to Canada. Where? I couldn’t say. I am assuming it is Joe Kennedy youare talking about.
Its true. Joe has moved back to Woodstock, Ontario. His number there is (519) 537-8471. I don’t believe he has re-established a web page or got a new email address yet.

A lot of people I know are moving to Canada. Is it the healthcare system and high quality of life? Easy immigration rules? What are some of your reasons (anyone)?

I believe Mr. Kennedy is Canadian by birth.
There was a huge wave of immigration when the previous Liberal government proposed decriminalising small quantities of a certain plant …
… Me? I came here for the balmy winters 
I heard he was a very good pipemaker . but I also heard he had just moved to Ireland

He was in Ireland he has now moved back to Canada.
Pat.
Kevin,
DJM is correct. Joe just moved back to Ontario from Armagh. Just picked up my drones from him in Woodstock, Ontario. I think he’s an outstanding pipemaker. He’s also a very nice chap to deal with. As an Ontario piper, I’m thrilled to have him back so close to Toronto.
As for why people are flocking to Canada, it is clearly the weather. Canada will be the winner with global warming 
Come on up and get your piece of pine forest. It will soon be a tropical garden. Maple syrup woodlots will soon be mango plantations. Lots of tropical hard woods for future chanters. 
Joe tried Armagh on to see if it was a fit, but it didn’t suit his family so he moved back home again. I, too, am pleased to have Joe back. For a while there it was looking like I would really be forced to make my own working reeds. <Whew!>

Geeeez Dave, you are such a wanny woo.
Yes, a good pipemaker to be sure. Apparently he moved back home - to Canada - yes, Canada where the beer is yummy(did I say that?). Anyway it’s true that Joe moved back a few hills over from me in Ontario - that’s in Canada, did I say that already?
Ah, Canada. Yes, Kevin, he moved there - again, or maybe just back, alas he is there - here - well, just over there, westward - for both of us, west of you and me - in SW Ontario, not that you’d know where that is exactly, but it’s where Joe Kennedy lives. (He used to live in Northern Ireland, Armagh, but he’s originally Canadian, and now he’s back [in Canada] - did I say that already?) We’re very pleased to have him back on his native soil.
(I could go on forever)
You think so, eh?

… don’t encourage him, geeeeeez…
