Playing with the BIG BOYS in Quebec City

Uilleann Pipes
1

If anyone is in the neighbourhood of Quebec City on June 12th, there will be a religious service in St. Andrew’s church to honour St. Columba’s day. St. Columba was an Irish saint who is credited with having brought Christianity to the Highlands of Scotland.

To mark the event, St. Andrew’s Church is having a Celtic theme to the music of the Sunday Service. This will feature a collaboration of Uilleann Pipes and the 150 year-old St. Andrew’s Church Organ. The piper will be Christophe Garenc (on his K&Q fullset), and the organist will be Dave Stafford (no stranger to the pipes himself - GHB & SSP).

Anyone within a reasonable distance of Quebec City is encouraged to attend what should undoubtedly be an unforgettable mélange of musical traditions.

Apparently, the best bodhrans are not made from goat skin but from dog skin. I wounder if pipe-bags could be made from poodle instead of elk. :smiling_imp:

You know what happens to people who hurt little dogs?

They end up looking like that? :astonished:

I wonder how many chihuahuas it would take to make an 18" bodhrán?

E.L.K. is the name of the tanning process that makes cow leather air tight and doesn’t require seasoning or other further treatment for UP bags or bellows (ref L&M).

My friend, we do not frighten the little chihuahua.

11

Hmmm. He would probably be big enough for a set of Northumbrian Smallpipes. :smiling_imp:

[I don’t understand what that little red ball is on the outside of his head, but…]

It could be a tuning pin but I’ve never seen them that colour before.

You know, I just now noticed that very faint white box above his head.
