This year’s festival kicks off on Thurs 27th so I thought I’d put up a post about it.
Info is on the website, but on Saturday there is an informal uilleann piping tionol from 11am at the local Health Centre, and a piping recital at 630pm.
This year David Munro, who plays uilleann pipes for “Setanta” is playing. he has an old C set [maker not known] and a D set with chanter of his own making.
The rest of the recital will include warpipes, ??gaida [Bulgarian/Eastern European pipes of some sort] and
a young lass playing electric pipes.
There will be a bit of a session after, probably in the Craig Bar.
Not a high profile festival this year, as we’ve aimed to get the locals into it a bit more…but there’s some diddlydee on the Friday evening 9pm Ben Mhor Hotel when Breabach are in concert.
