Knoxville, Gatlinburg, Townsend TN Pipers?

Post by Buckeye67 »

Hi Y'all,

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum - mods please move to the appropriate one if needed.

I'm getting married on June 22nd in Townsend, TN at a place called the Richmont Inn. I've been trying to find an uilleann piper to play at the wedding (it's going to be a small "destination wedding" - we're from the Cincinnati area).

I've had some sporadic email with Matt McNeely, but haven't been able to determine if he's available or interested.

Does anyone know of any other UPers in the Knoxville/Gatlinburg/Townsend area that might be interested in a gig?

Thanks!

Larry

Have you looked at this thread?: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=93931

For a wedding, you may be able to convince (pay) a Nashville piper to make the long-ish trip.

Yep, saw it, although it wasn't posted yet back in May when I posted initially. So far I've contacted Matt McNeely, Rick Hall and Skip Cleavinger - all of who are unavailable. I also have a message out to Gary White, but he's not responded.

I'm open to other suggestions. :boggle:
