Hi I have been away from this forum for a while. I will be doing a small tour of Canada mainly around Nova Scotia with my co musician Harper friend.(playing a mixture of Trad Celtic Instrumentals and my own songs)
I’m going to be in Canada from July 15th - 28th.
Perhaps any pipers (or even non pipers for that matter) could let me know of any good sessions or just any informal get togethers. Also any pipers want to get together perhaps we could organise something?
Cheers

Ben,
I must confess I’ve not seen anyone on this forum who comes from N.S. Apart from Neil O’Grady who is in Newfoundland, I don’t know of any Canadian pipers East of Quebec City (where I live). If you find anyone, I’d certainly be interested to get in contact with them.
Between Quebec City and Montreal, there are approx. 10 uilleann pipers. We’ve got a pipers club on the go:

If you are in the neighbourhood of Quebec city or Montreal during the summer let me know. There’s always something going on, and organising a session or even a small show is never a problem.
A bit of a stretch, but if you can extend your trip, the Pipers’ Gathering, Aug 12-15, in Killington, Vermont would be well worth attending.

Good luck on your tour, Ben. Watch out for all the fiddlers and GHPers.
I think Tom Doorley (the flute player for Danú) is living in Nova Scotia these days.

John Goodman lives in Halifax. A fine piper and flute player. Don’t have any up-to-date contact info, sorry.

Ben, two Halifax sessions that I have been told about are The Old Triangle on Tuesdays and Henry House on Saturdays. Also, check out The Session for a couple more: http://www.thesession.org/sessions/index.php/search?country_id=30&areaname=nova+scotia&town=halifax&day=Any&search=Search
