  3. Why a jug with a #bagpipe? In #medieval times the bagpipe was a symbol for debauchery: feasting, sexuality, drinking a lot. This jug is a replica of a jug that was made somewhere between 1475 and 1550. So it all makes sense. Right?

  10. The workshop that I will be attending (Filippo Gambetta on diatonic accordeon) is already full, but there are still spots in workshops for #hurdygurdy #nickelharpa and #bagpipe . In april in Sint Michielsgestel in the Netherland. Highly recommended! :~)

  14. This year, I submitted a proposal for a new bagpipe emoji to the Unicode Consortium. Unfortunately, it didn’t make the cut. Maybe next time!

  16. Brought on my my recent reading, I wanted to remind y’all that Dave Shepherd’s “Rose of Raby” is an excellent tune and sounds lovely on the smallpipes. I’ve even played it on my own hummelchen recently!
    Anyone else have a folk tune to share this #TuneswapTuesday ?

  18. 🧵3/ A lot of folks don’t realize that some of the best #pipers in the world are from Spain, uh-huh. Galicia to be precise - where a majority of the population is descended from early Celtic tribes. So yeah, some great #Bagpipe players, like Hevia, Carlos Nunez and Susana. Here’s Susana, Spain’s top female piper imo. #CelticMusic #Music #MusicVideo #WeekendVibes youtu.be/-vUhPkGYuj8?si=465fXA

  20. @stdraailierdoedelzak Het is zo’n mooie video geworden! Een prachtige ode aan dat mooie jubileum, aan al die lieve-leuke-eigenzinnige mensen en natuurlijk aan de muziek en samen muziek maken.

  21. More bagpipe! The CLASP (Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers) has in-person and online competition leagues, workshops, and a great bunch of friendly people. Solo pipers in Grades 5-1 can compete. If you don’t know your grade, you can send in a video.

    There’s even a chanter competition for new players not yet on pipes, and the prize last time was an ESSession chanter!

    The online live competitions especially are well organized and managed, and give pipers living a distance from the usual highland games, or in countries that don’t have a piping scene, a chance to set goals and keep their chops up. Judges include top global pipers. Crit sheets are aimed at helping you improve, not just rank you.

    Better than a beer tent! I’ve been a member since I started piping in 2019 as an oldster beginner. I love it.

    Here’s the blurb from the National Piping Centre in Glasgow, Scotland:

    If you’re an amateur solo piper and curious about competing, why not come along to our upcoming CLASP in Conversation session?
     
    This informal Zoom event is a chance to learn more about the Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers (CLASP), ask questions, and see if it’s the right fit for you. Whether you're a teacher or a piper with an interest in CLASP, you’re very welcome to join us.
     
    🗓 Sunday 11th May
    🕖 7pm (BST)
    📍 Online via Zoom

  23. For #musiciansday, I will give a short overview of my musical carreer.
    I started playing #cello as a child, played classical music in an orchestra.
    Went on to playing Trad. #IrishFolk in my twenties, especially #TinWhistle which I still play from time to time.
    Around that time, I also started playing the #bagpipe, mainly the Great German Bagpipe or #Marktsack as we call it.
    You can listen to the stuff of my old Band on liudon.bandcamp.com/ and Streaming.
    Also, I am about to join a new band!

  27. I soon will be part of a Band again. It's not metal, but #medieval #bagpipe #folk
    I can't make anything official because it'll be a surprise to the (not so small) audience of the Band. But what I can tell you is, that I joined them and another Band in the Studio last weekend for a feature song recording, and I really think this will be an awesome release.
