[NSP] Manchester Pipers' Group - Pipers' Day
Tom Mullen and Ron Blake founded Manchester Pipers' Group more than 30 years ago and the group has held an annual Pipers' day for about 25 years. I am told ( as a recent arrival on the scene) that the day and particularly the evening concert has over all those years acquired a name as a relaxed and enjoyable day out. I've certainly enjoyed the last few years. Due to changing circumstances the 2006 concert was restricted to the daytime with only a very short after tea concert. The 2007 concert has had to be moved to a new venue ( the one the group now use for their regular monthly meetings) and for the first pipers' day in the new venue we are repeating the daytime only formatt. BUT look at the tutor line-up, what a formidable trio of talent. The members of the Manchester Pipers' Group are very keen to know what support there is for a return to the 2100 hrs finish with a proper evening concert and anything else you would like to see included in the day's programme. As we all know, but I'll say it anyway, the success of a pipers' day, with regard to its viability, can only be measured in terms of the number of pipers that attend. So thinkig ahead to next year we need to make the 2008 day one that will change the 'might attends' into 'will attends'. So please let us know your thoughts; contact Malcolm Craven, still a driving force in the Manchester Group even though he has retreated from the North West Frontier back to home ground in Northumberland or contact Margaret Watt who is also taking bookings for the 2007 Pipers' Day e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] or me, the e-mail arm of Tom Mullen or Tom himself by phone. BUT better still come to the 2007 Pipers Day on 8th September and tell us then.

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.

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.

All of the judges, to my knowledge, judged my playing on the closed method as well as other things. Even Forster Charlton metioned to me that I ran my notes together, many years ago, so he was a believer in the closed method. It seems to me that the true sound of the pipes will be lost because people wont spend the time to play closed fingering and the associated tunes with variations. Playing a succesion of detached notes is a wonderful sound, when playing the variations to a tune; they become something hypnotic, almost dronal. I should have taked up the Irish pipes!

I think Andy has actually had the CDs for a little while, but it doesn't seem to have had much publicity yet, so thought anyone who hasn't heard about it yet might like to know. There's some lovely stuff on it - everything from Peacock to Hill to some of Andy's compositions and a great set of Galician tunes. There are also some great guests on it - including Andrew Davison playing on a duet track which culminates in the wonderful Glasgow City Police Band. The title track "Happy Hours" has much more of a band feel to it & has great lift & life. Of course Andy's playing itself is as fantastic as always. Perhaps he can send an email & let everyone know where to buy it!

To date, it has always been members present. 3) is there a fixed counting process e.g. secret ballot, show of hands etc? Previous presidential elections have been by popular acclamation. 4) is there a fixed list of candidates prior, or can nominations be received from the floor? See (1).
