Music tutor

* GIFT: Former St Laurence O'Toole pipe major Terry Tully, left, was the first recipient of the new music tutor produced by Bleary piper Derek Boyce, right. Made up of more than 60 modern and traditional tunes, the book contains all of Derek's winning manuscripts from over the past 15 years, including the first tune he ever composed, which won the National Piping Centre's competition to commemorate the death of Princess Diana. Derek launched the book at last week's All-Ireland in New Ross, where several dozen copies were sold. The books can also be purchased from local piping suppliers and you can contact Derek at derekthepiper@supanet.com or at 078 0988 0644
