Hi John (Sullivan),

You're very welcome to the Boston Uilleann Pipers' Group. Glad to hear
you're getting lessons at CCÉ - you'll know Matt Leipert and Patrick
Hutchinson from there, and you'll find them in here too, though they're
pretty quiet. I'm afraid things have been very quiet lately, so don't be
surprised if there's very little traffic on this emailing list. We haven't
had a formal club meeting in several months. That doesn't mean people aren't
interested in getting together (I think!), it just means that temporarily,
other things had to come first (school, summer vacations, babies, etc.)

New members, like yourself, are the lifeblood of a group like this, and if
you're keen to meet for some tunes, or to talk pipes, or get some help with
reeds as we settle into winter, just spread the word on this group. There
are about 50 people on this mailing list, some of whom are far away (e.g.,
Los Angeles or Co. Clare), but many are right here in the Boston area.

Don't forget to check out the website (on google groups), for pictures of
past meetings and festivals, recordings of tunes we've learned together,
even transcriptions of some of them. The club belongs to its members, and
you're one now.

-Frank

Frank,
Hi, I am new to the group. I live in Quincy and just bought a practice set of pipes. I bought them on ebay, but had my family in Ireland guide me somewhat. Anyways, I got a noise out of them, like a goose, but havnt been able to get a sound since then. Is there anyplace around here where I could get lessons. These things are a little more complicated than the tin whistle, and are only a practice set.

Hi Mike,

I don't know if you received any responses to your post so I thought
I would chime in.  The only local instruction that I know of is at
the CCE classes:
http://www.ccebostonmusicschool.org/
This half they are held at Harvard and are being taught by Patrick
Hutchinson.  This semester is over in a few weeks but there is
another that starts at the beginning of next year, although I'm not
sure about the location.  I started playing in June of this year and
am enrolled at CCE this half.  Who made your half set?

UPipingly,
Don
