Piping Crow

Matthew Ritchie here. I'm a young whistle player & beginning uilleann piper living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I currently play a cheep (but crappy) practice set made by Ralph Hepburn and I don't have a piping teacher. I've been playing the whistle for about two year now and have played with my whistle teacher around town and at festivals. I also play a little mandolin and harp.

My influences: The new and the old; Mick O'Brien, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Denis Murphy, Seamus Ennis, Willie Clancy, Felix Doran, Paddy Keenan, Jerry O'Sullivan, Martin Hayes, Micho Russell, Derrick bell, the music of Kerry & the Sliabh Luachra area, the Chieftains, The Bothy band, Neo-Celtic Dutch-Pagan band Omnia, and my whistle teacher, Gerry Carthy.
