Hello fellow pipers!
I have been playing the Great Highland pipes for almost 15 years, and will be getting married this upcoming October in Nashville, TN. We have been searching for an Uilleann piper that is interested and willing to play in our wedding ceremony as my bride walks down the aisle. We now understand that finding an Uilleann piper is far more difficult than finding a highland piper.
Anyways, if anyone is interested and available on Friday night, October 18th 2013, please shoot me an email. Also, if anyone knows anyone who might be interested, please pass on the word. My email address is: zrlindsey@gmail.com
There will be a delicious Irish/Scottish themed dinner following the wedding accompanied by some of Nashville’s best microbrews! How’s that for motivation!
Thanks so much!
Cheers!
-Zack
A quick Google netted this guy, who seems to have worked with a lot of top names there in Nashville

Skip is a superb piper, and a superb Highland piper too, so he’ll understand you…
I was going to suggest Skip as well. Unfortunately that’s the first day of the Northeast Tionol, but he could fly out of Nashvegas … we could send a limo to pick him up in Albany 
Heck, the Board could just pack themselves and their pipes* into the limo and give him a hero’s welcome … ROAD TRIP!!! 
- I get to go 'cos it was my idea.
You are too kind, Bensdad, but I must say I am unsure if I do understand highland pipers ; ) Kidding, of course.
Cathy is right on the money. That is the first day of the Northeast Tionol, and I’ll be in East Durham, NY, along with many, many (one can only hope) other regional folks who play the uilleann pipes. Let’s touch base via email, Zach. I can try to drum someone up for you.
Piper Eamonn Dillon (from Belfast) now lives in the Nashville area as well.
When did he move? When I talked to him at the Florida tionol in February he was still in your area.

Huzzah! He is moving into the 'hood! I wrote and asked him about the Townsend, TN wedding but he’s still bouncing back and forth between Miami and Nashville. I think he said he plans to be in Nashville full-time by summer’s end/early fall.
However, since he’s teaching at the Northeast Tionol this year, I imagine the 18th isn’t going to work for him, either.
Zach! Move the wedding and you’ll have pipers aplenty! 
Zack and I are working out the details.
