    I love the music Robert ... How long have you been together or is it something that has been going a long time. It would be worth contacting the Pan Celtic Festival which is held each year in Porthcawl, South Wales. The organiser is a good friend and I can pass on his email etc to you if you would like and you can take it from there

    Very nice indeed Robert.
    Are these Breton pipes? They seem to be a hybrid of the Uilleann pipes (and have a similar sound) but resemble Scottish pipes in having a mouth piece rather than being pumped with the arm.
    Best regards

    Awesome pics. Thanks for posting them.
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    Dear Robert, when my wife and I travelled to Ireland we went to a Irish night with music and a comedian as well as Irish dancing . Well there was a fellow playing what he called an Irish bag pipe (similiar to yours) and it was said that you could still drink your Irish whiskey and play the bag pipe all at one time! I didn't know the Irish were so cleaver. best regards Mattie
