Just out of curiosity can you name some bands ,local or otherwise that has an Uilleann piper as a member. It would be interesting to see how many there is and maybe, if they have a web page or clips on Youtube to have a listen to them.

What do you mean by “bands”? More than a duo? Do they have to rock and/or roll?
Black 47
Seven Nation when Neil Anderson was with em
Three or more and they can rock, roll,slip ,slide or any other verb that you can think of.

Full time? Uilleann pipes or any type of piper?
My favourite band, Finvarra’s Wren, used to have a full-time piper, and still now occasionally has one that guests.
@Tommy: My guess is he means groups that label themselves a band. Duos and Trios may count, or may not, depending on how they view themselves. Generally I would think of a band as a group that has melody player(s), accompaniment, and often a singer. There’s lots of grey areas, for instance the Martin de Cogain Project isn’t a band per se, but he does usually have a band with him.
Finvarra’s Wren is definitely a band, but when the fiddler and I play as a duo, I wouldn’t say we are a band…
For Rory, here’s an older video with their previously full-time piper (not me!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhAp2KL1YZg
Here’s what they sounded like more recently (almost a year ago though) http://soundcloud.com/finvarraswren

raggle, tankard© & seagull© have uilleann.
Theres 2 more originals, and a set of reels, with uilleann which will be on the next cd 
Pat Darcy is in Anita and the Yanks, among others.
Zac Leger is in Brilliant Gypsies.
Piper Ben Jaber is in the San Diego Symphony. Is that a band? If so, it meets the literal criterion of “bands ,local or otherwise that has an Uilleann piper as a member.” Doesn’t say that the piper has to play the pipes.

Many years ago (2002?) I was in San Francisco over St. Patrick’s Day and saw a band called Culann’s Hounds. Conall O’Raghallaigh was the piper. I don’t know if they are still together, or if there have been any personnel changes over the years, but was a great (piping oriented) traditional band when I saw them.
They don’t exist anymore, but there used to be a nice little swedish band called Ivy Leaf with a fantastic piper, Jörgen Fischer:

Cuts & Crans with Hasse Ljungdal on the pipes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3-l1KLzec&list=UUL6IhO4lomcjS-exrwgmAZw&index=2&feature=plcp
And then there’s a band from Gothenburg with a piper named Ralf Nyrén, playing mostly swedish music called Bordun (http://www.bordun.se/), litterally meaning “drone”. Those are the more or less local bands with pipers that spring to mind anyway.
Seven Nation when Neil Anderson was with em
Neil’s with Rathkeltair now.
The Bonnymen : thebonnymen.ie
have Maitiú Ó Casaide on the pipes.
I tried to compile as many as I could find on iTunes for a page on my website. It’ll be interesting to see if any more surface that can be added to the list:

Lunasa and the Chieftains are the obvious answers. Rig the Jig isn’t far off. Cran, maybe? Planxty and the Bothy Band, of course. I once saw a gig where Jarlath Henderson guested in Daimh. Does that count?
Neither I nor anyone I know plays in these (obviously). Just sayin’. Although while we’re on the subject of local name dropping, Dave Munro played with a Glasgow band called Setanta. I also have some recordings of an uilleannn piper, Christy O’Leary, playing with the Boys of the Lough.
Bad Haggis!
Howling At Ravens… Had 2 pipers 
At First Light.
Gaelic Storm.
Danu (until a few years ago).
Almost forgot… Guidewires.
