March, 2008

This year's Vancouver Celtic Festival hosted an event called "Swarm of Drones". It featured various bagpipes from Western Europe and the Britsh Isles and I was kindly invited to display some of my Swedish and Irish pipes for the occasion. Sharing the display kiosk are Scottish Small Pipes maker Robin Beck and organizer Rob MacDonald.
