Wynton Moore
NZ / Ireland
Wynton Moore is an uilleann piper from New Zealand, and has been living in Dublin since 2018.
He played the highland bagpipes from a young age and first encountered the uilleann pipes around the age of 19. His piping has been influenced by the playing of Séamus Ennis, Robbie Hannan, and Seán McKiernan, among many others. He also loves listening to the fiddle and takes inspiration from this, especially Donegal fiddle music. Wynton teaches piping classes in Na Píobairí Uilleann, leads weekly sessions in Piper’s Corner in Dublin, and has appeared in the piping recital at Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy. He is also an aspiring singer, attending traditional singing sessions in Dublin, and has sung on RTÉ Radio’s Céilí House programme.
