First Hearing:
THe Northumbrian small pipe might be new to some of you so we can tell you on this hearing that they seem to be somewhere between the Highland pipes and the Uilleann. The drone is not as up front like the Highland but nor is it as full as the Uilleann. The chanter on this track is fast and frisky and sounds as though it may , again, be nearer the Uilleann.
Oh, and the boy can play a bit too.
Worth a listen.
