Sorry Anthony, you are mistaken. This is a forum for discussing
Northumbrian Smallpipes. It has been a remarkably tolerant place where
discussions have taken place on topics such as scottish music, other
bagpipes, mouth-organ music and fiddle music to name a few.
We cannot assume that members of this list have any interest whatsoever
in the music or culture of Northumberland. The subject of the list is
the Northumbrian Smallpipes, all other things are peripheral.

posterity and that future historians of the pipes will be able to trawl
these records to form an opinion of the piping community at the
beginning of the 21st century.
