Episode 45: Anything But The Pipes
Sunday, 18th November 2007, 5.05pm, Radio Scotland
John Purser takes a sideways look at music for the pipes; with
master drummer Jim Kilpatrick demonstrating the art of pipe band drumming, the art of canntaireachd, or pipe music for the voice, pipe tunes variously arranged and re-created for piano, flute, guitar and clarinet and the late Gordon Duncan and Martyn Bennett’s unashamedly contemporary takes on the music of the pipes.
