Born in Strathglass in 1903, son of an estate worker, it was while his father was working on an estate in Glengarry that George Moss, not yet in his teens, began serious study of the repertory and traditions of the Highland bagpipe.
He competed on occasions but spent a lot of his time studying and playing Pibroch, known in Gaelic as piobaireachd, ceol mor or the great music.
This album provides invaluable evidence of an earlier, truly Gaelic style of piping.
