Like Karen said, it should be a nice time with the added bonus of lots of uilleann pipes and pipers all in one place.

The organizer of the piping tent wanted me to let anyone planning to attend that we will have some informal instructional time on Saturday AM from 10 till around 11:30 at the Uilleann pipe tent.

Mostly this a chance to swap tunes and tinker with the pipes but Tim Britton and Marty McCormack will be available to anyone who is interested in some more official instruction. Thanks to the Mayor’s office of special events, this is provided at no cost.

Kind regards,

Jeff
