Dear Friends,

The Coatesville Traditional Irish Music Series presents its first full blown Irish piping event - with America’s premiere uilleann piper Jerry O’Sullivan - on Sat., Feb. 25th at the Coatesville Cultural Society, 143 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, PA, at 8:00 PM; a workshop in uilleann piping will take place from 5 to 7 PM. Tickets: $15; children under 12, free. (610) 486-2220. Workshop fee is $20; you must register to participate in the class. Details: http://www.oldmusicproject.com/ctims/20060225.html

Jerry O’Sullivan’s excellence on the uilleann pipes is celebrated globally. His style is the outcome of many influences, but what makes his piping unique is how effectively he integrates those influences with his own personality, taste, invention, and sense of wonder. Grateful for the guidance and support he’s received in the past, Jerry is also committed to
passing on the instrument’s beauty and intricacies through teaching. His
mastery of the instrument, traditional knowledge, versatility, and dedication to education truly make him America’s premier uilleann piper.

Sound clips of Jerry’s piping are available

Jerry must not be playing on tour with Bonnie Rideout this year for Christmas as he normally is. He alos usually plays some set with Spillane in NY this time of year.

Jerry is in fact touring with Bonnie Rideout this year. From the published schedule, it looks like they do most of these gigs in December:

I am glad to see that they are playing together this Christmas. Jerry’s randition of “Baloo Lamey” is very nice. Bonnie on fiddle, Jerry on pipes and then add the harp…just very beautiful indeed.
