The Shotts and Dykehead Pipe Band with Bagad Brieg - La Boum Ecosse

(February 2002) 17 tracks

Deeply traditional, ear-wrenchingly contemporary, this combination of a top Scottish and a top French (Breton) pipe band slides pipe music into another musical dimension.

Interspersed among the top class traditional pieces played in true and pure championship style are some quite astonishing contemporary pieces which bring both pipers and drummers to near explosion point - but without the music losing its obvious national identity. Not for pipe band purists, unless they wish to broaden their horizons!
