Thanks for giving the Northumbrian pipes some much-needed attention. You might like to have a look at Music of Northumbria, which is also a bit inadequate at the moment.

Again, welcome! -- Blisco 11:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Page moves and plurals
Regarding your moves of Northumbrian smallpipes, Border pipes etc., it's best to leave page titles in the singular unless the name is only ever used in the plural: see Naming conventions (plurals). That said, bagpipes is already in the plural, so I suppose we ought to be striving for consistency. It probably doesn't matter too much, as there are redirects in place, and there's certainly no need to move them back, I just thought I'd better mention it. Good work on the Northumbrian music pages BTW, they're starting to look more respectable now. Cheers, Blisco 22:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
