Uilleann harpist Qwop Maguire was spotted outside the South Dublin auction rooms on Monday afternoon with a pipe case. He'd driven down to Dublin, from Ballygob, on his tractor to collect the set. . Tuesday evening, the 14th, he had the set with him at the Ballygob local flat session in the What The...

Latest bid is €4400. Any idea who made the set? Could it be a Kenna? Is the apple included with the set?

A great loss. Never expected that, nor the recent passing of another master musician and singer, Séamus Begley. Jeff Beck was an incredible innovative guitarist.
