Does anyone know what make of low whistle is it that Rory plays? I was lucky enough to be at a very small concert of theirs recently and have been absolutely inspired by him.
Rory plays Overton whistles. We saw them in Perth, Scotland this year and I think I spent the whole evening watching him - we were very close to the front. Absolutely fantastic! Managed to have a few words with him afterwards too,
Anybody know the name of the tune that follows the song on the first track, "Is There For Honest Poverty?" I actually asked Rory Campbell and he said he couldn't remember the name, but it was in the liner notes of the CD. But it's not there :(
Great recording, Rory Campbell is brilliant on the border pipes and low whistle, check out the instrumental break on "Tramps and Hawkers."
Essential "Modern Celtic" music.

I just know Rory Campbell through the recordings of Deah Shepherd. That's also a great Scottish band.

That should be *Deaf* Sheperd.

Deaf Shepherd
That should be "Deaf Shepherd".

Thanks Kenny for the correction. I left out too many "h"s.
I'm thinking about other popular young Scottish pipers. Finlay MacDonald? Fred Morrison?
