Australian Pipers

Post by johnnyboi »

I'm looking at going into Uilleann pipes, being a competent GHB player for a good while now... the problem is that I can't find any information on makers or even tutors/players in my area. I live in Sydney, Australia... any other ozzie pipers help me out here?
Cheers :D

Isn't Ausdag in Indonesia at present ?

Look for Goldy on this forum. He's in Canberra - not exactly on your doorstep but a lot closer than Jakarta!! He might also know some Sydney pipers.

Yep. Ausdag is from Aussieland. The 'Aus' stands for Australian and the 'dag' are the first two letters of my first name - David and the first letter of my surname - Goldsworthy and when it came out of the wash it turned out I had inadvertently described myself as an Australian sheep dropping :D (a 'dag' is what clings to sheeps bums (butts))

But yes, unfortunately I am at present living in Jakarta.

I'm in Sydney also. Good luck finding a tutor though.
I come from GHB background and moved into UPs a year ago.
Private message me if you want my phone number to have a chat about the "scene" or lack there of.

By the way Paddy Keenan will be here on the 22 March at the Harp Hotel in tempe. If you are keen to get into piping I recommend that you don't miss it!

David,

We should let those from other places also know that a 'dag' can also be a term of endearment!
