I’m doing a pipping concert at Garter Lane in Waterford City tonight, 30th of November if anyone is around - I’ll be joined by Maighread Medbh, one of the country’s great performance poets .
I just spent the last three weeks in the torture chamber trying to achieve the perfect sound from my C chanter, I’d say I made 30 reeds, all good, but none great till Wednesday evening, when I cracked it!. I’d like a spell in the funny-farm now for a few weeks.
I was really hoping to get to the Tinoil Tommy Kearney tis year, but could’nt find details about the event anywhere.
Maybe you should suggest to the organizers that more publicity would be in order?
Hi David. I thoroughly enjoyed your concert at the Triskell Arts centre in Cork last spring.
A pity that I’ve moved back home to Sweden. I would have come If not for the distance…
Your piping is trully great and inspiring.
Best of luck.

Hello youghal,
Twas a difficult gig, room had curtains on the wall, no natural reverb, poor sound system, no monitor, no idea what I sounded like, dry air, hard-blowing, hard going.
Philip, I’ll be in NJ from Sunday, will give you a call Tomorrow, keep in touch, youghal.
David,
Whereever you are..sorry I missed your call..Verizon just delivered it today ?? I returned but its busy so this Forum is the only means of communicating …guess I catch up later? Happy Winter Solstice? Merry Tree Celebration
