  • John Moore (1834–1894) was an Irish piper. Moore was born in or near the town of Galway about 1834. His father died while he was yet a boy, his mother remarried to Martin O'Reilly, himself a celebrated piper. O'Reilly tutored Moore on the pipes. At some point, Moore emigrated to the United States, enlisting in the navy, in which he served "for quite a few years." After leaving the navy, he settled in Brooklyn, working as a professional piper around New York City. On an 1887 engagement in Springheld, Ohio, organised by Mr. Powers of the Ivy Leaf Company, he became ill and was hospitalised. He was replaced by . In 1894, he returned to Galway in order to bring his step-father to New York. The night prior to departure, he visited Patsy Touhey and , who noted his condition was not the best but not alarming.
