Tom Connor – Uilleann Pipes

Published January 1, 2010 at 12:00 am

Tom Connor, a Texas boy and a guitar player, married a girl from Ireland, 34 years ago. He’d always loved folk and traditional music and his wife quickly got him hooked on the wonderful music of her native land. He started out on the tin whistle, until finally realizing that the Uilleann pipes were calling him. He performs at weddings and funerals, as well as regularly appearing at Sunday Irish “seisiuns” and monthly Ceili dances at the Irish Cultural Center.
