Enjoy Your Piping! With Gary West

Episode 3 - Music and Chat with Brighde Chaimbeul

April 19, 2023 Gary West

Gary chats with Brighde Chaimbeul, one of the most innovative and exciting musicians to have emerged in Scotland in recent years. Brighde explains the thinking and the influences behind her brand new album, Carry Them With Us , a collaboration with experimental saxophonist, Colin Stetson. As well as sampling the delights of that, we also dip into another wonderful new album, Diad, from Tim Edey and Ross Ainslie. There's sets too from the Scottish Gas Caledonia Pipe Band, from Willie McCallum and from Breton pipe maker and musician, Xavier Boderiou.
