Hamish Moore, who I mentioned here before. He is a Scot.

I have his CD "Stepping On The Bridge" (Danna' Air An Drochaid) Greentrax CDTRAX 073.

In that particular one he went to Cape Breton Island to learn the Cape Breton style which is designed more for dancing than marching. Liner notes explain technical differences and history, etc, for all you pipers. On it he plays the highland pipes, the border pipes, and the Scottish small pipes. (The fiddler on some of the dance pieces, incidently, is Jerry Holland, a Cape Breton fiddler of renown with his own CD's out.) The focus of the CD though is the pipes, not the fiddle and piano.

I expect that he has other CD's out.

Greentrax address is Cockenzie Business Centre, Edinburgh Road, Cockenzie, Mid Lothian, UK EH32 0HL if you can't get it ordered through your local shop.

He even makes his own pipes!
