Hi, I realise we are a long way away buy I thought you might be able to offer some advice. I have bought my son a set of practice uilleann pipes which he has always wanted. He has been playing bagpipes for 4 years and probably thought he could simply pick them up and start playing. Not true. He is 16.
Are you aware of any uilleann pipe players in our area? I have placed local adverts but no luck so far. We live in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland.
Many thanks for your time,
kind regards

I received the following e-mail a couple days ago. Are there any pipers close by? PM me and I will pass on the e-mail address.

Boyd would probably be the one to ask. Hopefully he will chip in later.

Erm... Davey are my lessons that onerous !! 
I quite fancy an away day so as its only about 3 hours away..maybe under 3 hours on a good day with a strong following wind. I can always pop up and give him lessons likewise he can come doon to Glasgow and get lessons either from me or Jim Daily.I plan to move up North in 5 years or whenever I win the Lotto (whichever comes 1st) so I can check out the lay o the land while I'm there.

Send him to Murray Henderson who lives near Kirriemuir. Murray will get him sorted out on a real set of pipes... Highland Pipes 
All kidding aside though, one of Murray's students is Simon McKerrell who knows a thing or two about playing the UP. Try getting in touch with Simon and maybe coordinate something when he goes to see Murray.
Not trying to derail you there, Liam.
