    29/01/2004 Neillidh Mulligan Makes a Reed: Na Píobairí Uilleann was founded in 1968. At that time the future of piping seemed perilous - the first meeting was attended by 60 pipers in all, most of them over forty, all of them men. The Uilleann - or Union Pipes - were themselves an 18th century development. The exact chronology of their invention is shrouded in the mists of time - but they seem to have been a parallel development in Britain and Ireland towards the latter half of that century. They were at their most popular in the years before the Famine. The Famine itself, emigration, lack of patronage and a variety of other reasons - including the Temperance movement and the popularity of Brass Bands - lead to a decline in piping. There was a revival at the beginning of the last century with new innovations - many of them coming from across the Atlantic. The American Piper, Patsy Touhey was one of the most popular performers of his day and was much recorded. Since the foundation of Na Píobairí Uilleann there has been an explosion of interest in the pipes. There's little doubt that the organisation benefited from a revival of interest in Traditional Music in general. However, even within that tradition, The Pipes are very much a specialist instrument. They are expensive and demand upkeep. In the late 60s, the art of reed making was close to extinction. There were four pipe makers working at the time and making a reed was something very few people could do, it was often viewed as a trade secret. Na Píobairí Uilleann has, in the years since then, run reed making classes where pipers like Neillidh Mulligan learned what to most pipers is a vital part of a piper's 'house-keeping'. Neillidh Mulligan, who makes the reed in this programme, comes from a noted musical family. Originally from Phibsboro in Dublin, his father was from Bornacoola in Leitrim. Neillidh has recorded three albums and was a founder member of Na Píobairí Uilleann. For more information visit: www.pipers.ie and www.neilmulligan.com
