The email I have has all the schedules for the instruments but this post doesn’t handle cells very well so it looks like hell when I copy it.

Thomas Johnston comes from a strong piping tradition in Co. Monaghan. He is currently pursuing the BA in Irish Music and Dance in the University of Limerick. He has experience in giving private tuition, workshops and adjudicating. As well as success at All-Ireland competitions on Uilleann Pipes and whistle, he has toured Europe extensively with various musicians performing in Finland, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Poland and most recently performed as part of an ensemble at the 2004 Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow. For the summers of 2002 and 2003 he performed with the music, song and dance show “Ragús”, of which the music was described as “music that simply gives you shivers down your spine”.
