Reader Reviews
This is a classic situation of someone who doesn't know how to play the bagpipes claiming that they do. Piping is a centuries old artform that takes years of study to play even at a novice level. Harley's bagpipes are painfully out of tune and he obviously has no knowledge of the cultural tradition that proper piping demands. I could just pick up a sax and blow it about jazz clubs and claim to "have my own style man." But I would still suck like a hoover. The reason that I am so unhappy about this album is because people who do not know better will think that bagpipes sound awful if this is their only exposure to them. I have played bagpipes since I was (...)and I have been making pipes for 4 years. Please, if you want to hear bagpipes look up "gordon duncan", "Victoria Police Pipe Band", or "Angus McColl", just to name a few.
