Update #4: To Those Still Wanting to Pledge....
Word has been trickling in that a number
of folks had trouble pledging or missed the
deadline altogether! I alerted Kickstarter
to the former, and no worries, you can still
support this project.
So if that was you, or you know of someone,
just send me a message by clicking the
(Send Message) button under my name,
and I will walk you through the process.
All pledge levels are still available!
Update #3: New Still Photos from the Film....
Thought I would share a few stills from the road....
with a nice old piper postcard. ENJOY!!!!
......and the goal looks to be within REACH!
My heart remains on fire. Thank you.
Update #2: Going Down to Cork.
....7 Days Remaining to Support the Pipes!!
I feel like thanking everyone once again for pledging
- times are skint - folks are generous! You all have
raised 64% of the goal with 7 Days left....
Tomorrow morning the bus heads down to Cork
to spend time with the matriarch of Uilleann pipers.
Who is that?......better not tell just yet! Will say she's
a special woman and a marvelous piper....
Still much work on the fundraising effort to be done,
so spread the word, and if reading this....JOIN US!!
Kind regards.

Update #1: An Update From the West.
I've been the past four days with my good friend,
the wonderful Sean McKiernan in gorgeous Coillin,
just outside of Carna in County Galway. The recordings
from our time are among the most special I possess.
I can't wait, down the road, to share with you all.
Stay tuned!
And...THANK YOU ALL for your investment!
You enable me to carry on to completion.
Also, for the $25 and $65 pledge range, I will be providing
Regular Updates (if you want them!!).
