Some things are just love/hate kind of things: Marmite,
Jagermeister or the films of Adam Sandler for instance. And you can call me a scabrous traitor, but I would add bagpipes to that list. It‘s important then that events like Piping Live! exist to convert knee-jerk reactionaries like myself. The plan is to showcase pipes in every way shape and form, and shatter preconceptions through the diverse performances from the likes of Kathryn Tickell (pictured), Barnaby Brown and Daimh.
