THE WHISTLEBINKIES - Scottish Music Traditional and New
This annual concert has built up a wide and loyal following, with listeners surprised by the beauty of melody and power of rhythm growing from the group's blend of Scottish smallpipes, fiddle, harp, concertina, flute and drums. Their CDs on Greentrax Recordings and on Claddagh Records attest to their prowess. New pieces from group members including leading composer Eddie McGuire feature too. Rab Wallace, Rhona MacKay, Stuart Eydmann and Peter Anderson are all well known performers and researchers. They have taken Scottish music worldwide, including a groundbreaking tour of China in 1991.
