World map of pipers .
This is a great idea !
http://uilleannforum.com/membermap/membermap.php
Do you think it would be a good idea if piping clubs were put on with different coloured pegs or maybe pipemakers!
A thing I noticed with the US is that there is a slightly higher concentration of pipers on or nearer the east coast .what do you think is the reason?
And on the east coast of Canada the concentration of pipers is very evident,whats the reason there?
I was wondering is it due to the location of piping clubs or pipemakers ,or is it that there, is a larger Irish population on the east coast?

Mississippi, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, Alberta, Saskatchewan, you need a piper.
& I understand how the Canadian high arctic may not be the ideal setting for a Tionol.
Nevada, Im certain your piper is busy playing slots right now.
but West Virginia? Nova Scotia? Piper-less?? un-be-lievable. all those fiddlers and not a single piper?

youre joking, right?josh perkins wrote:You can't really be serious in calling Nova Scotia piperless--that would be taking uilleann chauvinism to a new extreme. Do ye no realize wha' that name translates teh.......laddie?
it's clearly a thread about Uilleann players around the world.
There's no 'chauvinism' intended here.
Why drag the GHB into it?, as everyone knows one cant spit without hitting a piper in NS, ....jimmeh.

Mmm.....riiiight....I don't think I'm the one lacking levity here. Breathe deeply and relax.

The pins on the map are only by those who frequent "the other" UP forum, so there is nowhere near a true representation of makers or players on the map. I don't believe it was ever the intention to advertise anyone's location on the map unless they put it there themselves.
