Anyone recognize this piper in the photograph or the pipes maker?

Note that also the girl in front to his left (right side on the picture) seems to play a practice set.

Uilliam
That is, of course, Séamus Ó Rigami, the famous Irish paper folding artist, and his back-up singers, the the Paperettes.

Thanks Uilliam. I take it that this is the same fella that was mentioned in a recent thread and that the question about the pipes is also answered there. Thanks.

I think the set is a Harrington B or B flat; the size of the instrument and the mountings on the chanter and regulators suggest it, at any rate. Didn’t Wayland emigrate to Australia and aren’t his pipes still down there? I’d like to hear that old machine going well in skilled hands.
I beleive he moved to Geraldton, Western Australia and I think his pipes are in the library of University of W.A. I also beleive that the uni almost swapped the said set for a cello, and that this set lived under Wooffs bed for a while whilst living in Perth.
A fella I know is the full bottle on all this Wayland info. What I have said may all be utter lies, (closer to truth i hope) but I can find out actual factual info should anyone one be interested.
