_1704 Fred Morrison, piping concert "Fred Morrison is one of Scotland\u2019s great and outstanding pipes and whistle players. The celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his father\u2019s native South Uist forms the bedrock of his intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style. His outstanding technical prowess saw him winning many top competition prizes while still at school, and inspired by pioneering acts like the Bothy Band and the Tannahill Weavers. Although his first-love instrument remains the great Highland bagpipes, over the years his mastery has expanded to encompass whistles, Scottish smallpipes, or reelpipes and Irish uilleann pipes. He was also one of the first Scottish artists to forge dynamic links with his Celtic cousins in Brittany and north-west Spain, adding further to his repertoire of influences and tunes, and has long been renowned as an outstanding composer. \u201cwidely regarded as one of the greatest Scottish pipers alive today.\u201d" Music Traditional "Fred Morrison is one of Scotland\u2019s great and outstanding pipes and whistle players.
