Mick O'Brien as guest piper at 25th Dutch Tionol
We're happy to announce that Mick O'Brien will be returning as the guest piper at the 2010 Tionol of the Dutch Uilleann Pipers Club.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Mick began his musical education on the Uilleann pipes in the renowned Thomas Street Pipers Club in Dublin. His father Dinny O`Brien, a traditional "box" player, was also a constant source of tunes and inspiration. Mick recorded his first LP with his family when he was 13 years old. He later joined Na Pionairi Uilleann, an organisation founded to promote piping, where he absorbed hundreds of tunes and refined his technique. His playing can be heard on numerous recordings with artists such as The Dubliners, Frankie Gavin and the RTE Concert Orchestra. Mick has toured extensively and given master classes throughout Europe and North America. His highly acclaimed solo CD of traditional Irish music; "May Morning Dew" was released in 1996. In 2003, Mick released Kitty Lie Over along with fiddler Caoimhín ó Raghallaigh. It was named No.1 Traditional Album of 2003.
The 25th annual Dutch Tionol will take place on the weekend of the 24th-26th of September.
The Dutch Uilleann Pipers Club welcomes anyone with an interest in the Uilleann pipes, players of any level, prospective players, and non-players alike. To become a member of NVUP simply send us an E-mail. If you want to participate in this year's Tionol please fill out the booking form.
