Everything is so right about this performance - the musical interpretation in the playing, the tunes, the sharp picture and sound quality. Great to listen to, over and over again ! Thanks for sharing !

One of the best pipes I have heard. Fantastic strong fingers and bagpipe.

My year-and-a-half daughter loves when I play her jigs on the Scottish smallpipes. 'The Panda' seems to be amidst her favourites. Hard to hit the echo on E on that weird tiny chanter, tho!

@peebrah 11 лет назад

Outstanding pipes and great piping

Thank you so much!!...

Robert Watt's shift from minor, in Gordon Duncan's original (in the Panda, I think), to major is pure brilliance.

@StrathendrickPiper 11 лет назад

I've always been inspired by Gordon Duncan's music. The tune at 1.34 is The Famous Baravan

@calumferguson7622 8 лет назад

@TheACacello the two tunes after the Ramnee Ceilidh are "Break Yer Bass Drone" and "The High Drive"

@albertooviedohenriquez1836 Год назад

@alejandrolikewhoa 8 лет назад

@vincetheshamwowguy2391 3 года назад

I think Watts' interpretation is even better than Gordon Duncan's original compositions.

Just learned about the burl. Look at his pinky go!

@cornemuse001 12 лет назад

I think its an old set of Henderson drones and a Sinclair chanter

@timothywatts7996 3 года назад

What tunes are these, Heinz??

@cropec 10 лет назад

It's available on Thesession.org

@brentonhayward8353 6 лет назад

Wow! That's all that I've got to say.

@keithtombs 12 лет назад

so cash anyone name the tunes "one after the other"? I love the jig that starts at 1:34 and jig before it.... would love to know their names to pass to my solo piper to play with me!

@AntJoCac 12 лет назад

His high-hand pinkie finger moves in a very odd and dramatic way. Almost like it has an instrument of it own to play. Maybe that his secret, an alien pinkie finger.... Always great to hear him play.

@pipes0987 4 года назад

Little known fact, he had a co-joined parasitic twin who was connected at the pinky tip. The poor half developed thing was cut off and lives in an asylum and whenever it picks its nose Roberts finger twitches.
