Do you recognise this Glenshesk man?
I got this photo from local historian & collector of artefacts & curios, Danny Morgan. Danny is, like myself, very keen to learn anything he can about this man. So far Danny knows his nickname was 'The Carver' - anyone know why?
He also knows that he was a Glenshesk man, & that this particular photo was taken in the 1930's.
Or perhaps you know something about this Piper?
This character is pictured at the first Feis na Gleann in 1904, and is believed to be the winner of the set of O'Mealy Uilleann Pipes, which was one of the amazing prizes that year.
Thanks to the Coleraine Chronicle for the use of this photograph.
