Wetootwaag's Bagpipe and History Podcast
Jeremy Kingsbury
This show is (mostly) a bi-weekly podcast that explores the likely repertoire of eighteenth and early nineteenth century bagpipers, using historic music collections (written for bagpipes or not), performed on Uilleann pipes, Highland pipes, Border pipes, Lowland Pipes, Northumbrian Smallpipes and whistles. Every episodes notes include links to the historic sheet music when available.
