Do you play or are you interested in learning the uilleann pipes? Come to this casual meeting where we'll play tunes, undertake pipe maintenance and discuss all things pipes and pipers. The GNIPC is a piping club located in Minnesota dedicated to the national instrument of Ireland, the uilleann pipes. This meeting will take place...
Dáithí Sproule looks forward to another in-person gathering in which he will share and teach some great traditional songs in English and Irish with an emphasis on singing them together and making up simple arrangements. It’s sure to be fun!
This fall, join Dáithí Sproule in exploring the rich repertoire of Eddie Butcher (May 8, 1900 – September 8, 1980) whose singing is considered by many to exemplify the sound of the north Derry tradition. A prolific collector of hundreds of traditional songs, classical ballads, and song fragments (many of which he had learned from his father and his wife's family), Butcher influenced such Irish powerhouses as Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, Frank Harte, Len Graham, and Joe Holmes. Don't miss your chance to learn some of the gorgeous songs from his collection!
