Flute player Bill Thomas is a long-time dancer and dance musician whose repertoire includes tons of New England tunes. In the early ’70s he fell in love with Irish music and his flute has been heard at sessions and dances ever since.

Along the way Bill took up the uilleann pipes and continues to add his lively playing to local sessions in New Hampshire and western Massachussetts. Learning from many native Irish musicians both in the States and during his several trips to Ireland, Bill has developed an authentic playing style which follows the tradition and yet is his own. An accomplished furnituremaker with a shop in Rindge, New Hampshire, Bill has also made uilleann pipes including the set he now plays.
