Are you a member in good standing who missed the 2013 Tionól? Or did you attend, but wish you had a “soft copy” of the official Tionól transcriptions from your Tionól binder? Rejoice! Mick’s finally updated the Tunebook page. See the Tunebook page, specifically the “Transcriptions from Recordings” section, for three sets of tunes from Patrick D’Arcy, Joey Abarta, and Pat Cook & Karen Cook Cannady, respectively.
Are you planning on attending this Saturday’s GNIPC 2013 Tionól Concert? It will feature acclaimed uilleann pipers Joey Abarta, Patrick D’Arcy, and Patrick Cannady, with Karen Cook Cannady on fiddle and additional special guests. A finer night of piping, you won’t encounter this year!
With performers of such stature, this will be an especially memorable performance not just for pipery-geeks, but for the local Irish-American community at large. Get your tickets in advance, here, or at the door.
And please feel free to share the link to the Facebook Event we’ve created for the concert: http://www.facebook.com/events/161109660747974/?ref=2 (while you’re at it, please “like” it yourself!).
