COMD1008

Solo piping by pipers well known outside the confines of the piping world - all members of folk bands like Battlefield Band, Whistlebinkies, Ossian, Clutha, Kentigern. Much of the material is rarely heard or is original, covering the whole gamut of Scottish piping at its glorious best.

EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS - Both the pipers pedigree and their considerable abilities are beyond questions. Their choice of tunes ranges from the household to the obscure.

ABERDEEN PRESS AND JOURNAL - All in all, this is a fine production from Robin Morton covering most styles, including 2/4, 4/4 and 6/8 marches, slow airs, hornpipes, strathspeys, reels and pibroch.
