At this years Copenhagen Irish Festival the Uilleannpipes workshop will be in the hands of Gay Mckeon.

Gay Mc Keon was born in Dublin in 1957 took an interest in uilleann piping in the 1960’s under the tutelage of the renowned piper and piper maker Leo Rowsome at the Piper’s Club on Thomas Street in Dublin’s city centre. Understandably, Leo had a profound influence on Gay’s playing as did the other musicians who taught at and visited the club including the uilleann pipers Dan O’Dowd, Mick Touhy, Sean Seery, Tommy Reck, Willie Clancy and Peadar Broe.
