The Pipers’ Review
The Pipers’ Review, or Iris na bPíobairí, has been a publication of the Irish Pipers’ Club since its inception in 1979. Through the years, and several editors, it has witnessed many changes, but the main reason for the publication to exist remains the same: uilleann pipers need help in learning this difficult instrument. The Pipers’ Review is dedicated to this cause. Members can access all the back issues via the internet. The amount of information gathered over the 25 years of publication is staggering.

The Tutor, Irish Union Pipes, A workbook by Denis Brooks
The Tutor, Irish Union Pipes, A Workbook by Denis Brooks. “This instruction book is directed to beginners who haven’t the opportunity to avail of personal direction, especially the many North Americans who are separated from the nearest piper by hundreds of miles. It is hoped that this work, explaining the peculiarities of fingering, ornamentation, and style, and offering some basic tips for maintenance, will enable many to gain some insight into complexities of the instrument.”The price for The Tutor is $15.00. p>
