Thread Name: Piper on album 'The Old Songs'
Subject: RE: Piper on 'The Old Songs'
All except Highland Laddie are Uilleann pipes, as far as I can tell. On Skye Boat Song & Cockles & Mussels only the chanter is being used (I think). I have no idea who the piper might be, it's not my field.

Highland Laddie is played on Northumbrian pipes, and not only that it's a C pitch set. At that date I think the piper is therefore Colin Ross - he was the only maker to have made one by then. I will ask when I next see him.
