Patrick D'Arcy hails from Dublin, Ireland. Regular trips to the Willie Clancy Summer School as well as tionóil around America have enabled him to learn from many of today's great players. Touting Tommy Reck, Seamus Ennis and Willie Clancy as great influences, Patrick now enjoys passing on his knowledge to students at his home, at meetings of The Southern California Uilleann Pipers Club and at tionóil whenever the opportunity should graciously arise.
Comfortably settled in his new habitat of California, he is a founding member of the Southern California Uilleann Pipers Club and its annual Southern California Tionól, which is currently celebrating its eighth year. He is also the host of the UilleannObsession.com website, soon to celebrate its tenth year.

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse.741.com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
(C) David Franks 2003

If there is a good thing From the Second World War It’s that most peoples learnt To conquer lands no more.
In Africa, Asia, And the Pacific, too: Post-war independence - Steps only bigots rue.
But for some indigenes, Outnumbered much-too-much, It has all come too late For liberty, as such.
So ‘tis in Australia, And America’s sites, Where the best now, I think, Is to respect land rights.
