As the wonderful London Uilleann Pipers Club are now in way out South West London I thought it might be nice for a few of us inner city pipers to meet up for a few tunes and such. I have mailed LUPC to see if they want to be involved, and London Irish Centre in Camden are keen to host us. So who’s game for a January bash in Camden Square?
Count me in.

Should be able to make so long so long as we don’t have the wrong sort of snow or BT let another cable drum escape ![]()
It is possible that I will be in London at some stage during January. Perhaps I could drop by and say hello. ![]()
That’s great, fellas. Geoff, happy to coincide the night with your visit, let me know dates when you have 'em. Here. @uilleansean or sean.lally74ATgmail.com
I’ll certainly contact you Sean… just don’t hold out to set a date for your meeting on my behalf… a visit to London in Jan. is only a ‘definate possible maybe’.. which dépends on quite a lot.. including Weather/Family/Health and Money!
Looking forward to the party.
Ok, Geoff. If the meet proves popular we could always go monthly. Preferably with some LUPC involvement.
Geoff, great to have you on board - hope you know that a condition of your attending is that you provide a fully-keyed chanter with ivory and silver fittings to be raffled to a lucky winner - all in furtherance of the cause of the promotion of uilleann piping in London
all the best
Hello Sean
Are you thinking to start a regular meeting?
What is parking like there?
I would be interested in coming along when I have time although I am only a beginner.
The Twickenham meeting is just a shade too far for me.
Are there any pipers who meet out Essex way?
Iain
Parking is fine in the evening in Camden sq, even when a big do is on. I’ll announce date as soon as it’s confirmed
I’d like to drop in as well - the LUPC meets have always clashed for me so another evening would be fantastic.
That is great, Callum. I am awaiting confirmation from Ldn Irish centre on a date so will announce as soon as I know.
working date is Wed 15 Jan, 1900-late, with an all comers session in the main bar from 2200. ![]()
Drat! I’m out of town that day ![]()
Hope there’ll be more gatherings.
Good luck with it!
We’ll miss you Rich, I’ll @ you if the session is still going on Thursday morning!
I am hoping for this to become monthly. ‘Camden Pipers Club’ anyone?
Excellent. I look forward to playing my meagre repertoire of three tunes for y’all ![]()
Would have loved to be there if my Bayley set was finished. But alas, my London trip must wait untill then.
Ok all, we in the Old Chapel 1900-2200 then all comers seasion in the bar from 2200. London Irish Centre, Camden Sq
Facebook event for those that do that sort of thing
On tonight. Hope to see you there
