Well, after leaving behind my pipes etc some 12 years ago for personal reasons and to concentrate on my trumpet having been commissioned to form a swing band, I’ve taken up my whistles again and will hopefully be getting back into the pipes in the New Year (will need to order a new set).
Since 2006, I suffered a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage and survived!!! But I have slowly rebuilt myself although I no longer work apart from voluntary work with CAP.
So, here I am again, I can’t remember my old username and have set up a new account, although having a quick look through, I do remember some of the names on here like djm, Rorybbellows, BuskerSean (Sean, I think we met once or twice) billh (I think you may have bought my Andy Faden set???) and others but hey I’ve got an excuse for a bad memory now, and not just because of my age 
.
So a big hello to you all and I look forward to my visits to this site and keeping up to date with things.
Yours Mark W
