Here's a tune I wrote for my good wife, for the bagpipes:  "Lady Glyn Lorraine"

Hi,

I am a new piper here. I started learning to play them just a few months ago. I am using a Practice Set at the moment. It is fun to do so :)
Kind Regards,

Good on ya, Donagh!  How have you progressed since that post in February?

An update - I have now become a professional piper, and have had gigs from southern Delaware to New York City.  What a delight!

Hi,

It has been a while. I bought a set of mouthblown smallpipes. My back and shoulders cannot take the GHB's weight. I have a few tunes on my repertiore :) (7 in total)

Hi Donagh ~

How are you enjoying the smallpipes?  What tunes are you playing?

I've just taken a big career step and adopted a professional playing name - so I don't have to keep explaining the last name that comes from the non-Irish side of the family!

You'll find me listed now as Liam Fox: http://www.thehighlandpiper.com
