We are delighted to host this event in which Martin Dowling with be having an in-conversation with Helena Rowsome on ‘Growing up with the King of the Pipers’.
Born in Dublin of 19th century Wexford piping stock, Leo was the first uilleann piper to play solo on Irish Radio (2RN) in January 1926. A prolific performer on a variety of 78 rpm record labels and a regular broadcaster, Leo Rowsome became a household name throughout Ireland, and brought Irish music and the uilleann pipes to the concert halls and theatres of the world. Leo learned the art of pipe-making from his father, William and was appointed teacher of the uilleann pipes at Dublin’s Municipal School of Music in 1920.
He revived the Dublin Pipers’ Club in 1936 and was a key founding member of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, and a founder member of Na Píobairí Uilleann.
Pipes made by Leo are in museums world-wide, and have been used as templates by aspiring pipe makers.
