About the event
7pm - Ben Allen & Willie Crook
Ben Allen first began learning the Irish uilleann pipes in 2010. In 2023, he brought local players together to establish the Front Range Piping Club. Residing in Nederland, CO, he continues to explore the rich possibilities of the instrument through making reeds, archival recordings, and studying technique.
Willie Crook, a Colorado native, has been a member of the local Irish music community for over 10 years. He’s studied concertina under many world-renowned players, including Noel Hill and Brenda Castles. He currently resides in Denver with his wife and children, where he makes concertinas for customers all over the world.
