Certainly. Any local ones I deal out geographically, supplying enquirers with several names if possible. Recently I've had very few - in fact not any in the last 6 months or so, I would say. I suspect that within the two counties people have a better idea how to get hold of a Northumbrian piper - it's mainly the enquiries from a long way away that have people resorting to the webpages, and me resorting to the list if I am not aware of / can't find players local to the venue. Does that help? Julia To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
