Yet nother leftfield project curated by Donal Dineen and Carrick-on-Shannon's The Dock, in celebration of its 20th birthday this year. Dineen has gathered three fine pipers (Pádraig McGovern, Leonard Barry and John Tuohy) who know where the heart of their instrument lies, and meld them with the visual artistry of Lionel Palun and Guillermo Carrion. After its recent premiere in The Dock, The Pipes The Pipes travels to Dublin. A balm for music and art lovers alike.
