Traditional Fifing in Ulster

My latest project involves photographically recording the process of manufacturing fifes.  Wilby Wilson from Larne is a skilled craftsman who takes great care in producing fifes and his fifes are in high demand from traditional fifers, both in Northern Ireland and overseas.

Ulster culture has a richness that has not been given the exposure that it deserves, I am indebted to the Ulster Scots Community Network who asked me to produce photographs for their new publication, so keep an eye out for the publication launch.

The photographs below are a small sample of what was photographed.
