Brian, Josie and Sean, the musicians who joined us live directly from Northern Ireland, played live music and gave us an insight into musical instruments such as the flute, the uilleann pipes, and the history of how the names originated. Our students learned how the pipe works, the different parts of it, the sounds they make, and the differences between different types of pipes such as the bagpipe and uilleann pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
