www.Dubuque365.com 365ink Magazine | issue #140 { august 18 - 30 } 9 { irish hooley • august 27 } whack for my daddo-o!

By Mike Ironside

Assuming you’ve seen the cover of this issue of 365ink featuring members of the Dubuque Fire Pipes & Drums in front of the historic Star Brewery, you might have guessed it’s once again time for the annual Irish Hooley. The bagpipe group made it’s Hooley debut at last year’s event and will play an even greater role in this year’s celebration, scheduled for Saturday, August 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Alliant Amphitheater.

A celebration of Irish music, dance, and culture, the Irish Hooley will feature a variety of Irish and American food, Irish beer, traditional Irish crafts and other merchandise for purchase, Irish dancers, and a full day of Irish and Celtic-inspired music topped off by the return of the ever-popular Gaelic Storm. It’s been two years since the Irish rock band performed at the Irish Hooley, which will also feature performances by the Chancey Brothers, Wylde Nept, and Kansas City-based Irish rock band The Elders.

The Dubuque Fire Pipes & Drums will also perform, kicking off the Hooley with a bagpipe opening ceremony at noon and later playing a salute to armed forces in the afternoon. The main stage program will also feature a bagpipe demonstration hosted by Bill McInnes, leader and teacher of the Dubuque Fire Pipes & Drums, with special guest, piper and master bagpipe maker Murray Huggins.

“This year the emphasis is on the bagpipe, which isn’t techni- cally an Irish instrument, of course, but it’s a Celtic instrument,” explained Hooley lead organizer Michael Lange. “We have Murray Huggins coming from Medford, Oregon. He is a world champion bagpiper. He has actually been working to teach the Dubuque Fire Pipes & Drums how to use the bagpipe. He’s also made the bag- pipes for almost everybody in the group, which now is 22 people.”

Invited by McInnes, Huggins made an appearance at Loras College this spring, where Lange had the opportunity to meet him. Lange invited Huggins to return for the Hooley to perform with the Dubuque Fire Pipes & Drums and offer a bagpipe demonstration along with some history of the instrument from the main stage. The presentation is an effort to expose more people to Irish and Celtic culture.
