Fred Morrison, pipes

Fred Morrison, pipes

The last time he came, he brought the house down with a night of epic piping. Although Fred’s first love instrument remains the great Highland pipes, over the years his mastery has expanded to encompass whistles, Scottish smallpipes or reelpipes – Morrison, being a pivotal populariser of this once rare variety – 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 tune composer. The concert will open with a set of tunes and songs led by Ellen MacDonald, with other Sabhal Mòr Ostaig music students. In response to a suggestion from the wider Seall community, the raffle will be raising funds for the Sleat Think Tank Fuel Pump appeal.
