Thanks a lot.
And sorry to have asked this question in the wrong section

Does anybody knows if the hornpipe The First of May is related with the events in Chicago on May, 1st 1886 ?

I met Gerry last year in Tokyo and I'm relieved to read good news about him. Thanks for sharing it.

Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn is playing a wonderful uilleann-pipe version of Handel's Gigue for Keyboard in G, on his album Ceol is píob.

Sometimes, I like to play others tunes better, but I would say my all-time favourite is The Black Rogue.

Isn't it a Koehler & Quinn chanter?

Romulo: I will if I don't find someone to repair the key in Nagoya.

Thank you very much everybody for your advice. I will check today instruments repairers as Pipewort suggested. As UP are not common in Japan, I just hope they won't be afraid of an unknown and weird instrument.

I'm still in Nagoya
Anyway, it's surprising to read that, as there some pipers in the Kansai area, and even a tin-whistles/pipe-maker in Kyoto.

I'm currently writing an article for a french magazine about fayrie tales and irish music, so I'm looking for a hi-resolution (300dpi) picture of Seamus Ennis, preferably a portrait. If you have some, please PM me. And if someone happens to have this old record where there are three pictures of him ...

Why not speed things up and do something during summer vacation in August? Or maybe during Obon? In August, especially in Obon, it would be almost impossible to rent a place for the Tionol, not speaking of accomodations which are already all reserved. And it's far more expensive too. So September i...

Yatta! Omedeto Matsuzaka-san!
That's very good news. We have a pipe-maker in Japan at least! Now all we need is a tionol to hear and try Matsuzaka's chanter

If you can organize a tionol there, you will have a (the?) piper from Nagoya with you.
