JiggeryPipery - Jiggery Pipery

(2000) 8 tracks

Unlikely though the combination may seem, here is an exceptional classic piper (son of a Scots Guards Pipe Major) playing alongside Simon Crowe, wild drummer and ex-Boomtown Rats!

James Robertson, the piper, is also a superb composer and just as at home with a sweet and gentle slow air. Some decidedly rumbustious tracks, some meek and mild, all very tuneful.

Most of the tracks on this album are by James, but there are a couple by other composers and one or two traditional numbers including a laid-back version of Mairi’s Wedding with bluesy vocals. Fiddle, bass, cittern and guitar complete the line-up.
