In this album you will hear the culmination of Hamish's devotion and rediscovery of the pipes as a true folk instrument. His research into the past to discover what pipe music was like before it was forced into the ridgid confines of military pipe bands and competitive standards, has stirred controversey in the piping world and it reveals another side to the music that many people may be unfamiliar with.
If you close your eyes and give your imagination rein, these tunes will bring you over misty hills and into old wooden dance halls. There is a spirit here that will not be lost.

Hamish Moore is the master of the smallpipe. This
album has everything..Dance music, airs, marches...a
delight. If you want to buy one bagpipe album this
should be it.
