Hey Khan Thank ye for that article it was fascinating reading.The Highland pipes tradition is of course strong and I am delighted to see the Northumbrian pipes so well placed.I think mine is the reintroduction of the Uilleann pipes to the scene.Prince Charles Stewart of course had great funding and support frae Irish merchants and Soldiery on his, alack, failed march on London to regain his inheritance.(Thankye Lord Murray for yer ineptitude and cowardice)O'Sullivan his captain urging the onward march whilst Murray wanted to retreat to Scotland.Murray won and the result is as they say history.Charles commented on such sweet musik coming frae a bag o wind when he was entertained on Pastoral pipes in Edinburgh.
As fer the fotie..Nah I don't want it on show..it does not do to over inflate oneself and methinks I was a bit guilty of that, besides it is unfair on the baron and he dosnae desreve the quips re vampirism.So no fotie, content yersel instead wi Danny and let it satisfy the jokers in this particular pack.Ye know who ye are.
Uilliam

Tell us something.: I used to play pipes about 20 years ago and suddenly abducted by aliens. Not sure why... but it's 2022 and I'm mysteriously baack...

Tell us something.: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Didn't Seamus Ennis talk about "personal pipers" in his story about the Lark's March?
Congratulations, Liam, and hope you don't have to get into any duels (musical or otherwise!) to defend your lord's honor.
Deja Fu: The sense that somewhere, somehow, you've been kicked in the head exactly like this before.
Personal pipers are OK, but if you run into any of those anti-personnel pipers, you'd best give them a wide berth.
