GUEST,SallyM - at work	bagpipes in folk, (53* d)	RE: bagpipes in folk,	09 Jul 09
Regarding the original query, I do know of a few pipers around my area (North Bucks & South Beds) who play various types of pipes in sessions - uillean, border and northumbrian - but they certainly do seem to have frequent 'off' days. It seems that bagpipes of all types are quite fickle, temperamental instruments to play and suffer quickly from heat and humidity changes. They have often been brought out of cases then put straight back again after a few squeaky blows with a lot of grumbling and cursing from the owner ! However there must be several closet players lurking around somewhere : The Bagpipe Society and their 'Blow-out' festivals must be sight - and sound - to hehold ! Sal the Gal
