Hello,
I am eagerly seeking a Uilleann Pipes teacher in the West Midlands area. As close to Walsall as possible. If anyone can help, please PM me, and I will get in touch ASAP. Thank you.

Have you had any luck finding a tutor yet ? We are based in South Wales and meet every 4-6 weeks , granted bit of a trek for you. South Western pipers meet in Taunton every month , again a bit of a trek. Our tionol is on 1st September , details on www.swalespipers.com or pm me here. There’s a piper based in Hereford and you might find some pipers there close to you. Also mick O’Brien is tutoring so worth coming for that alone. Cheers Mei
If you can’t find anyone local there are always teachers availible who use Skype.
Is there a reed making workshop at this years festival?
Yes Ferris , Martin Preshaw is scraping out some reeds , Alan Burton is there and while he’s not doing the reed table he is a wealth of info. Cheers Mei
i remember hearing of a piper from northern ireland who was making reeds for m coulter and who was based in the midlands but i can’t remember his name - he was a fantastic piper though
Thank you guys for the replies. I finally found a quality tutor. Im eager to get started. Now I am seeking a good set of used pipes. I just posted looking for some. I dont plan to buy brand new until I can play a bit. Thanks again. Sorry for the delay. Its been awhile since Ive been on here.
