I think this thread should possibly get an airing again, as five years on the play list of 'young uilleann pipers' has changed once again!
Jarlath Henderson, Dungannon, co Down only aged 19 years old and a BBC young musician of the year winner, five times 'All Ireland Champion' under the age of eighteen years old.
Sean McKeown (Gay's son), Dublin, an amazing piper
Dickie Deegan, North London ? (I think) plays mostly in Australia I believe, an amazing piper, great regulator as well as chanter work. (cd: an phiob) well worth buying

I'm sure some of you mudcatters know of more Young Uilleann pipers who are up and coming 'BIG NAMES@ in the near future.
