I appreciate your comments, and can only thank you for making the effort you are doing, which is appreciated. The event takes place at "Gnosall Community Centre" and we have said on the tickets that it will start at 8.00 and finish at 11.30. In this age of SAT Nav's and the internet if I give you my post code it may help as Gnosall is quite a small village with the Community Centre being on the High Street. ST20 0QS. We would provide a meal (Hog Roast + with a few bits of Northumberland) for anyone who could attend and guests, say up to four, and we would pay for travel expenses (within reason - I'm an accountant (J). We would envisage having the meal, and then having an introduction to the pipes and the playing of a couple of pieces, after the meal, with the band taking over after that with a Ceilidh . We are not looking for a professional musician, but someone who can introduce us to this "Northumbrian" instrument. We would just appreciate seeing it and hearing it live. Everyone we have mentioned it too have said "wow it would be great to hear it played". Again, many thanks for taking this on board, even if nothing comes of it, I appreciate the fact that you are interested. Kind regards Frank Hogarth.

However I will do what I can to help and that is: e-mail to the members of the Manchester group who use e-mail. discuss at the next group meeting (a week on Sat). send it to an interenet site used as a forum by a wider group of northumbrian pipers. But first a few more details please. 6th June is a Friday but what time, venue (near Birmingham?), parking, availabilty of food if distance travelling involved and anything else you can think of.

I do wonder if it is too far for someone to come, bearing in mind it would only be for a small part of the evening. My problem is that for me the pipes are an essential part of Northumberland, and would just set the overall tone for the evening, and everyone who we have told that we were hoping to have a Northumbrian piper player there were absolutely delighted. I suppose we just want to hear, what for a lot of people is an instrument they don't get to hear very often.
