About the artist

Leo Rowsome (5 April 1903 - 20 September 1970) was the third generation of an unbroken line of uilleann pipers. He was performer, manufacturer and teacher of the uilleann pipes - the complete master of his instrument. He devoted his entire life to the uilleann pipes. Samuel Rowsome, Leo’s grandfather sent his sons, John, Thomas and William to a German teacher of music who resided in Ferns, near their home in Co. Wexford to learn the theory of music and how to play various instruments.
