| Sean McAloon (1923 – 1998) was a piper and pipe maker from Ireland. Originally from the Roslea area of County Fermanagh, McAloon played music on the fiddle. However, he is best known as a master of the Uillean pipes. He emigrated to the United States in 1964, but after a year he returned to Ireland. He spent eight months working as a builder's laborer in Dublin, but moved to Belfast in 1966 to be closer to his family. There, he got a job working for the Corporation Parks Department. His major inspirations as a piper were Phil Martin, who he saw playing at a feis in Roslea, and Leo Rowsome. In addition to being a fine player, McAloon eventually became a respected pipe repairer and a highly regarded reed-maker. He produced about twenty sets of the instrument in his lifetime. John McSherry owns a McAloon half-set. Discography
