Alasdair Gillies - Lochbroom£12.30 | Buy Now! | View Track Listing
Pipe Major Alasdair Gillies is a piper whose name has become a legend in his own lifetime, both in his native Scotland and his adopted country, the United States.
His family hails from the Western Isles and has close links with the Isle of Raasay, home of the MacKays of Raasay, from whom our knowledge of the ancient art is derived. Alasdair himself had long service in the regiment of the Northern Counties of Scotland, the Queen's Own Highlanders, and was its last pipe major, at a time when by common consent its pipe band was admitted to be the finest in the army.
Alasdair has a record of success in competition unequalled at the present time both in Scotland and in America. It is however possible to amass an impressive list of the glittering prizes through luck, supple fingers, and a good memory, and many a piper has acquired a corresponding reputation without really getting to the heart of the instrument, or, more importantly, to the soul of its music. Alasdair excels in both fields of endeavour. He can win on the competition platform with a solid display of sheer skill in the traditional interpretation of the classics, ceol beag and ceol mor alike. He can charm a ceilidh audience with a demonstration of virtuosity and brilliance in the less formal type of music with its intricate and demanding technique.
