LLAFAIR Have just returned from a weekend of Northumbrian Piping tuition in Somerset and am now brimming with confidence. Will practice a few short tunes and at least people will get a taster of a wonderful instrument. Hopefully the quality of the performance will match the quality of the instrument!

As I recall Rusholme really does heave on Saturday night so any expedition should be 5.30/6.00. as already suggested. This has advantage of leaving more time after eating for other activities.

Looking forward to meeting everyone during the event.

Kindest regards to all G.Broon
