    Nicolas Gerardin was born in France but emigrated to Canada as a young child. Meeting Jean Blanchard & Éric Montbel in Lyon on a trip back to France in 1998 was his first step into the world of French bagpipes. After Jean lent him a set of student pipes, he never stopped playing them, from the high-pitched A pipes to the low C sets. His travels in France allowed him to attend the Saint Chartier Festival and to meet several pipers and pipemakers, and of course this allowed him to order bagpipes from reputable manufacturers. Passionate about the work on the sound, he is interested in ancient bore French bagpipes and the cabrette and its unique temperament. He works as a teacher for children with learning disabilities.

    Thomas Irvine is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Programmes in Music, and an Alan Turing Fellow.

    “Like many students and staff in our department and university I have an international background. I was born in Munich to American parents and grew up in Stony Brook, NY, USA. After studying viola at conservatoire (at the Shepherd School of Rice University and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music) I moved to Germany and played professionally, mostly in Early Music ensembles but also in symphony orchestras. I also taught for a year at the Frankfurt International School and worked as a manager for a large Early Music organisation.

    In 1999 I found my way to musicology and back to the US, studying performance practice and musicology at Cornell University, where I took my PhD in 2005. In 2002 I crossed the Atlantic again as a DAAD scholar at the University of Würzburg Institute of Musicology, where I stayed on as a postdoctoral fellow in 2005/06. I have lived and worked in Southampton since 2006.

    I am a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute (the UK’s national institution for AI and data science), a Non-Executive Director of the Southampton Web Science Institute and currently serve as an external examiner at the Royal Academy of Music. I co-chair the American Musicological Society study group ‘Global East Asia.’ Outside of my teaching and research I am trying to learn Chinese and follow Southampton FC. Both can be challenging! I also sing a little.”
