The Piping Recital will feature an impressive line-up of pipers including:

• Michael Stribling
• Rita Farrell

There will also be a presentation to this year’s piping scholarship recipients during the concert.

Throughout the week, Na Píobairí Uilleann will be holding lunchtime recitals from 1:15pm-1:45pm in the Community Centre Monday to Friday pairing a young upcoming piper with an established piper.
