	Uilleann piping / traditional Irish music - Leo Rowsome
		Leo somehow continued to achieve phenomenal proficiency as a piper despite long hours at his father’s old treadle lathe and the time-consuming business of repairing and tuning derelict sets, making reeds, teaching some 5 nights a week and off on a long journey nearly every weekend to concert, feis or flead ceoil.
		Leo and his brother Tom Rowsome played a major role in the formation of CCE and the first Fleadh Ceol, which was held in Mullingar in 1951.
		Leo’s name became known the length and breadth of the country as a master piper, pipemaker and pipe teacher.

		Kevin Rowsome is the grandson of Leo, known as “The King of the Pipers”.
		Kevin Rowsome is the current custodian of the family tradition.The five generations in the title refers to numbers 3,4 and 5 and samples the Rowsomes legacy over the twentieth century; from William Rowsome in 1902 to Kevin today.
		Leo, very much a man of the early 20th century, could play anything on the pipes that he was also adept at making., but his considerable recorded work included some awful turkeys and many of his 78s dont make easy listening because of the over-use of the regulators.

	Kevin Rowsome
		The title of this album by uilleann piper Kevin Rowsome refers to the fact that he is the latest in a line of five successive generations of pipe playing and making tradition in the Rowsome family.
		One of these, Leo, came to prominence around the time when the first recordings of traditional Irish music were being made so we have more than mere reputation to rely on for evidence of his genius as the great man recorded extensively right up to his death in 1970.
		Leo was also a highly admired and influential teacher and passed on his extensive knowledge of pipe playing and making to many illustrious pipers including his son Leon who inherited his father's job as pipes teacher at Dublin's College of Music.

		Leo Rickard’s piping lineage is much influenced by the late Johnny Doran and Leo Rowsome.
		A surprise for me was hearing the strong Leo Rowsome influence, I’m referring to tunes like The Cook in the Kitchen and Donnybrook Fair, and the Eagle’s Whistle / The Fairy Revels marches which have uncanny Leo Rowsome / Denis Brooks style regulator syncopation.
		Leo clearly was avoiding, any tendency for showoffy production and stuck to the pure core of his traditional playing and repertoire and the result is good, solid piping.

		Leo's name is synonymous with uilleann piping and traditional Irish music in general.
		To this day Leo is commonly regarded in uilleann piping circles as the best ever maker of wide bore concert pitch uilleann pipes.
		This is of greater significance when you bear in mind that he lived in an age when traditional music was in serious decline and uilleann pipes in particular were in danger of dying out, as teachers of the instrument were practically non-existent.

		Leon Rowsome told me that Leo did scrape AND sand the middle out of the reeds....the part that was left out of the film of Leo, working with reeds,etc. Leo Purcell told me that L.R. used a dowel of 1 and 3/4 inch diameter.
		Leo Rowsome was going for that thin cresent moon, seen from both ends of the slip, said Leon !
		For playing with other pipers Leo had a loud (stiffer) set of reeds he kept in a jar, and for solo work he'd take about 15 minutes and change out those for the easier set of reeds.

		Reflecting now on the music of Leo Rowsome, his command of the instrument, his use of the chanter, regulators and drones brings to mind the following lines: "You can make music of a sort with white keys only, but for true harmony you need the fl keys also".

		Leo's father, uncles, and grandfather were all reckoned as superb pipers in their own right, exponents of a rolling, smooth playing with a great deal of sweetness and melody to it.
		Full of spirit and charm, Leo's music is the very model of piping; neglected or disdained by many since the revival of piping in the late 60's, more and more are discovering the joys and amazements of his music these days.
		While the two LPs this CD covers rightfully should have been followed with a third, covering the astonishing sets of reels he put down on record in 1948, these will do to bring his magic music back to new audiences.
