This week, we feature piping from around the Celtic nations. Here in the States, when someone mentions bagpipes, folks conjure up an image of the Great Highland Bagpipes and regimental pipers in full highland garb. But, as we explore in this hour, the Celtic nations boast a wide selection of extraordinary bagpipes, from the uilleann pipes of Ireland to the gaita of Galicia.
This week, we play: Alison Perkins & Nicolas Brown, Jamie Macdonald & Christian Gamauf, Calum Stewart, Carlos Nuñez, Anna Murray, Bagad Brieg, Cillian Vallely, The Chieftains, Tony McMahon, Stéphanie Makem & Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn, Kathryn Tickell, Eamonn Dillon, and Xavier Boderiou, Sylvain Barou & Antoine Lahay
Our FairPlé score this week is: 23, but next week we’ll be making up for that!
