A concert of bagpipe music, on the great Highland bagpipe and the smaller bellows pipes. Dr Decker Forrest is course leader of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig's BA (Hons) Gaelic and Traditional Music course and a competition winner recently winning the Dunvegan Medal for Piping at the Skye Highland Games in Portree. Iain MacInnes is a Scottish folk musician, until recently working as the producer of the BBC Radio Scotland bagpipe music program Pipeline. He was formerly presenter of that program, before taking a one-year sabbatical in 2002 to write a book on piping in the 20th century. He has played the Scottish smallpipes and whistles in a number of folk bands including The Tannahill Weavers, Smalltalk, Ossian, and his own band. He has just completed one year as a mature student at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye's Gaelic College. Tonight's concert is supported by Enterprise Music Scotland.
