Subject: RE: Help: John Gorman, Jack the Piper, Drumshanbo
Just yesterday, Sunday 26th May, there was the unveiling of a new monument in memory of John Gorman in the graveyard in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim where he is buried.

There was a great gathering of musicians and relatives of John Gorman at the graveyard for the unveiling.
A piper played some tunes in his memory and then there was a session in one of the pubs in the town.

You may also be interested to know that the most recent edition of An Píobaire magazine (Vol. 15, Issue 2) contains a thoroughly researched article about John Gorman written by Paul Waldron & Michael Kelly.

Na Píobairí Uilleann digitises all these magazines so in due course this editon of An Píobaire will also be added to their website.
