Piping Live! 2013
Finlay MacDonald and Chris Stout |
The festival
was started by a young Finlay when it was hard to imagine the festival becoming
the biggest worldwide piping festival.
I'm a big
music fan but I don't know so much about the piping world. I'd no idea the Piping Live was such a big
world wide event. I love
the pipes at the end of songs such as this one be Karen Matheson - (lovely voice) -
Also, I
lived in the US
for ten years and it was the pipes that really used to make me feel
homesick! The pipes made me think of
the highlands and glens - getting
sentimental now - I even missed the wet streets!
