The Irish Uillean pipes are less austere than the Scots -- the pipes play chords as well as drone and melody, much like a concertina with a drone. This gives the songs a familiar structure to go with the entrancing sound, which is also warmer than in the Scots pipes. Rowsome was not only a master piper (he was a teacher at 16) but a master craftsman as well, and his own pipes were never equalled in his lifetime. This stunningly beautiful recording is a monument to a remarkable musician.~ Carl Hoyt, Rovi
