Masters of Piping

£25.00

This edition of Seumas MacNeill much-praised work has been designed and edited by Robert Wallace in co-operation with Seumas’s son Rory. It is essential reading for anyone interested in piping history. The author covers pipers from the early MacCrimmons and leads us chronologically through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, highlighting the leading players of the day.

Angus MacKay, John Ban MacKenzie, Calum Piobair Macpherson, Donald Cameron, John Macdonald, Inverness, John MacDougall Gillies, Willie Ross, Robert Reid and GS McLennan are just some of the giants of the art whose lives and careers are covered.

Seumas’s flowing style of writing makes this a very enjoyable and easily accessible read. Rory has contributed an interesting chapter on his father’s work for piping as seen from the family’s perspective.
