Workshop and solo-concert Leonard Barry, October, 10th 2015, ’t Ey Belsele

Leonard Barry grew up in County Kerry and started to play Irish traditional Music at the age of eight. When he reached the age of fifteen, he started to learn the Uilleann Pipes. He soon grew to be one of the leading pipers in Ireland. He contributed on more than thirty recordings of artists in the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany. In 2002, his First solo-cd ‘Mind the Pipes’ was received by the Irish Musical Press as ‘a classic debut’ which placed him amongst the great classical pipers who were his most important source of inspiration: Lliam O’ Flynn, Finbar Furey, Leo Rowsome and others. In 2014 his second solo-cd ‘A New Road’ was released, which again contained several master pieces of traditional piping.

Leonard will be giving a workshop for the

seasoned pipers in the afternoon (15 pm – 17.30 pm) and a solo concert in the evening (21 pm) for which he made a promise: ‘I’ll

bring some hardcore piping!’
