I have often been misquoted in the press, to my embarrassment. I think we
need to be very careful not to be seen to be unsupportive in the public eye,

Hello,
I am new to the list, and to Northumbrian piping. I recently acquired a set
of Northumbies and I'm wondering if there might be any pipers lurking in
my neck of the woods, specifically Illinois.
Thanks and kind regards,

Just a tiny question, Lisa. You don't happen to have a child of your own who

Paul, I stopped saying Northumbies as advised, and my piping still sounds

Beware of the press. The same article had Katherine pictured in her
usual langorous pose which even she might be getting a bit sick of by

Are you also opposed to giving out grades in school, as it might
