William Rowsome
William Rowsome was an Irish uilleann pipe maker and player in the late 19th and early 20th century. He was among the artists profiled in the 1913 Irish Minstrels and Musicians by Captain Francis O'Neill of Chicago.
Rowsome was one of the Irish musicians who maintained the culture of playing the uilleann pipes during the 1925–1936 gap while the Pipers' Club in Dublin was defunct. His son, Leo Rowsome was to revive the organisation as Cumann na Píobairí in 1936.
