I'll spell it out
In order to avoid in-crowd allusions, and in order to make everything
clearly explained, I think that John should have explained that his
reference here was to the Bible (the sacred book of the Christian religion -
which believes that . Oh I guess you can find that elsewhere on the net)
I'll spell it out
A pint of Guinness (or similar stout) is the image, symbolising or
alluding to .
Ireland, and by extension, in the context, Irish music. Chris's post
was an amusing (to me and presumably others) comment on the perceived
dilution of the Northumbrian piping tradition.
Greetings pipers,
A lovely set of Evans NSP has arrived at The Irish Flute store. I've
listed them on eBay should anyone know of someone looking for a nice
set. I have listed a Roberts 1/2 set of UP as well.

Best,

or as the translation from the greek goes,
Be of good cheer John 16:33 et al (wonderful combination, the internet
and the bible.)
I think Chris is far too pessimistic and lacking in self confidence. I may
be well off the mark here, but I'd guess in the first half of the 1900s
there were
In the early part of the century there was a 'head' of perhaps half a
dozen excellent pipers in various styles.
And others, the 'tail' less excellent, but more numerous, perhaps in the
dozens.
The head is still less than a dozen strong at most, - I won't name them
as if I leave one out by
What inspires the work of men of genius is not new ideas, but their
obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not
enough Eugene Delacroix.
Bring it on, as they say (I think!) Jim.

OK Barry,
At our regular Monday meeting last night in Morpeth at our temporary venue in
the Methodist Hall I thought I would try out the solo piping idea with every
one present and of the nine who were there only a couple said they would rather
not play solo. There was no crticism of their
I have a practical question.
Can anyone suggest a decent hard case that i could use to transport a
set of pipes in as hand luggage on a longhaul flight? What do other
people use?
Also, I'll be travelling for 20-30 hours, and would appreciate any
hints on how to minimize
Hello All,
