Check out the great music of the much lamented Martyn Bennett (1971-2005). He was a super musician! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vbngMkCdo http://martynbennett.com/
Thanks for the link - how sad his passing...
I have met Martyn's mother, Margaret Bennet, a folklorist and wonderful traditional Gaelic singer herself. http://www.margaretbennett.co.uk/ I was not aware that her son had passed. How tragic. M
The man could play a pipe.
Convener, Georgia Chapter, House of Gordon (Boss H.O.G.) Where 4 Scotsmen gather there'll usually be a fifth. 7/5 of the world's population have a difficult time with fractions.
Martyn was great. Listen to the album he made with his mum for some lovely old songs and terrific arrangments. It is called Glenlyon: A Song Cycle. Here is the site of one of my fav. bagpipe-makers. There is lots of great lore and links here too. This is Julian Goodacre in Peebles. http://www.goodbagpipes.co.uk/ Here are the Goodacre brothers jamming together on early pipes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrf4aHUEmlo S' e moran spors a th' ann gu dearbh!
