Episode 30 - The Keeper of the Light

Enjoy Your Piping! With Gary West

Join Gary as he brings you more great music from bagpipes great and small! There's a double helping from the Northumbrian tradition, a flavour of the Himalayas, up tempo tunes from the wider trad scene, a song from Scottish folk royalty, and a short tribute to Dundee piping great, Harry Ellis, who sadly passed away this week.
