Join us on Saturday, November 7, from 12-3 PM at the German Canadian Club in London, as we celebrate International Uilleann Piping Day, a worldwide celebration of Ireland’s unique Uilleann Pipes.
Curious about the Uilleann Pipes? Come try the pipes with Ontario pipemaker Joe Kennedy. Whether you’re a musician, a traditional music fan, or just plain curious, this is a chance to learn more about the instrument and give them a try for yourself. There will also be a piping tune workshop and opportunities for Q&A with Joe.
Be sure to enter the draw to win one of two Uilleann Piping CDs, courtesy of Na Píobairí Uilleann.
