As the bagpipe began to appear in Scottish folk groups during the 1970s and 80s, there was a concern amongst the establishment that bagpiping could be diluted by a rash of inferior players and a lack of regard for the tradition. This new documentary looks at the transition of traditional piping into the folk or traditional music scene as it is today. Made by film-maker Ewan Duncan, a final year student of Gaelic Media at Sabhal Mor Ostaig in Skye, the programme examines some of the key performers and influences responsible for this piping renaissance.
You can find more of the music featured and discussed in the film on our album 'A Controversy of Pipers' (Temple Records COMD1008)
