Andy May - The Yellow-Haired Laddie

(March 2003) 13 tracks: King Of the Pipers / Phil's Favourite * Rowley Burn / The Piper In The Well * Peacock's March / The Drunken Parson / Rookland Lasses * The Bonny Lass of Bon Accord * Piper's Song * Da Slockit Light * Go To Berwick Johnny / Dog Leap Stairs / Because He Was A Bonny Lad * Bobby Shaftoe * Blow The Wind Southerly / Sidlaw Hills * Cheviot Lament * The Golden Eagle / The Banks Hornpipe * Roslyn Castle / The Mason's Apron * Caller Herrin / Sir Sidney Smith's March * Farewell To The Dene / The Spey In Spate / Billy Pigg's Hornpipe.

A supreme Northumbrian smallpipes album with all the clarity, freshness and incisive qualities of a native moorland beck.

Rippling, tumbling, cutting and twisting, this music will capture the hearts of traditionalists and those who like a more contemporary album. The Mason’s Apron must have been recorded thousands of times, but this interpretation is something really special!

Andy May plays the pipes, the main instrument of this disc, with a few tracks accompanied by guitar, harmonica and piano, and featuring Kathryn Tickell on fiddle and viola.
