PIPING HOT
; The uillean or union pipes were played and made all over Britain in the 18th
and 19th centuries. In Scotland, many
of the instruments have survived and
were known and even enjoyed a vogue
. as the ‘Pastoral Pipe'. A printed tutor
lorthe instrument was even
3 obtainable. They developed to their
present complexity of drones. keyed drones or regulators and keyed chanters sometimes double bored. in
; Ireland duringthelastcentury and have 5 since becometixedin public
conciousness as the Irish Pipes. Bellows blown, not loud and with a distinctive two octave sweet/sour lone
they have come slap bang into fashion again overthelastfifteen years.
Who in the early days of the folk revival. when Seamus Ennis, himsell a genius on the pipes. was pedalling round Ireland collecting the hidden riches of song and dance airs. could have conceived a heavily amplified rock band using the instrument as lead with guitar and sax. and playing to enthusiastically packed halls and universal acclaim. Moving Hearts did just that and were one of the greatest groups to come out of a nation Iull of musicians. as the Queens Hall audience of lastyearwould testify, when the band reassembled fora tour.
