Congratulations to our Uilliam (Mr. Liam Hackett) for making it into the most recent issue of An Piobaire. There’s a nice picture of him on page 6 playing his Rogge B set in London’s Regent Park.
Hmmmm…he doesn’t look as surely as pretends to be…
How strange. On reading the original thread, I could swear I felt an oxymoron passing by me…
No, just a nice photo.
How DARE you refer to Uilliam by his real name. Since I’ve been on this board, the enigma of Uilliam and the photo of the possessed King Theoden has been seared into my mind. ![]()
But seriously, congrats to him on being featured in that fine publication! ![]()

Oh ye of little faith
herewith a copy of ma pas wi ma REAL Name on it.The bits saying how nice I am have been blacked oot for security reasons…and for the sake o oxymorodom ![]()
Ye will note that Uilliam hAicéad equates in the Saxon tongue to Wil(liam) Hackett which is itself of Norman extract.My ancestor of yore being William de Hackett who did a bit o plundering in Cashel Tipperary in the late 1100’s and as I’ ve said afore liked the free hospitality so much decided to stay on ![]()
So rest assured Matt… Uilliam it remaineth
