San Francisco Pipers' Club Home Page

Joey Abarta will be in the Bay Area this weekend and would love to teach a workshop. If you don't know Joey, he is a piper from Los Angeles who has recently returned from living abroad in Ireland, where he became a world champion at the Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann (or World Championships of Irish Music) for his performance on the uilleann pipes.

The workshop will be held from 1pm-2pm on Sunday the 25th at Cathy Chilcott's house in Berkeley. Cost for the workshop is $20.00

Please RSVP via phone at (760) 617-6522. Feel free to call or text. You may also RSVP by email to joeyabarta@yahoo.com. RSVP-ing is necessary for this event.

The San Francisco Pipers' Club was founded in 1979 to provide a supportive environment for people learning the uilleann pipes in the vicinity of the San Francisco Bay Area. The club meets approximately once a month and offers free piping, reed making and pipe maintenance lessons to members. Every two years, the club hosts the West Coast Piping Tionól, a weekend-long festival of piping. The club also organizes other events, such as parties and picnics, and hosts visiting pipers.

Monthly Meetings

Club meetings take place the second Sunday of every month at 2:00PM. The meeting location will be announced here and also sent to the club's mailing list. Note: The club has not been very active lately; the regular monthly meetings have not been happening.
