Another vote for Chester's Time Bandits here! Helen de L is so in control of her plumbing! An interesting combination is the pipes and Hurdy Gurdy - oh, and they've a new CD out called 'The Cold Air of Morning'.

And Vicki Swan - oh, and don't forget Garva (briefly known as 'Fir Play') - at Lymm Folk Club we often get to see both John Murphy and his son Liam playing Uillean pipes together! Uillean - elbow, in case anyone didn't know!

I think one reason why you don't see more pipes is the simple fact that they are so difficult to play well... tuning and maintenance is much more involved than, say, a guitar, where you can get away with changing the strings every ten years or so... ;o)
