Scotland’s Fiddle Piobaireachd

Renowned fiddle piobaireachd player Bonnie Rideout released this album in 2007.

Simon O’Dwyer was invited by Producer John Purser to play Bronze Age bass trumpet, side-blow bronze horn and Early Medieval Psalter horn for track one – ‘MacDougall’s Gathering.’ The ancient instruments accompany with a continuous drone and instrumental overtone that gives the music a new and evocative sound and beautifully enhances the plaintive piobaireachd played on viola.  Below is a short sample  – it picks up mid way through for 30 secs to give a flavor of the track.
