Someone I know is looking for a piper for a funeral in Rochester NY in the very near future. If any one can give me leads on UP players in the area I shall be grateful.
My contact’s father has been ailing for some time and is unlikely to survive another 24 hours. Comsequently there is no set date yet, but it is likely to be very soon.

I am a piper in Memphis,Tennessee. Maybe I can help. I saw many pipers on T.V. (in New York) after 911, if you contact the police or fire dept. they could give you the telephqne number of a piper. Good Luck
There are several New York area pipers listed on Seth’s website:

I used to live in Rochester. Here are a few links that might help. If you can’t reach anyone from these let me know and I will send you an email address for a local friend of mine who is involved in the piping scene there.
Your best bet is one of the McGraws or Tunneys listed here: http://www.irishrochester.org/contacts.html
