2nd ANNUAL CLEVELAND PIPER'S WEEKEND
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5 ST. MALACHI PARISH HALL 2459 WASHINGTON AVENUE, CLEVELAND, OHIO Local pipers have been talking about doing this for years - now is the time! Let's build an annual event that puts us on the map as a great destination for piping and traditional music! If you are interested, put your money where your mouth is. Hopefully, we will have the great Detroit piper Sean Gavin back this year in addition to other guests. I (Brian Bigley) will help to get your set in tune for the workshop. After the concert, we will all hook up at Brian Holleran's 'Il Rione Pizzaria' for some fellowship and hopefully some tunes! |
