Alasdair Gillies - Lochbroom

Lochbroom is the latest CD from Pipe Major Alasdair Gillies, a piper with a dedicated following both in his native Scotland and his adopted country, the United States. A formidable performer on the competition platform, Alasdair Gillies is a much admired interpreter of the classics, ceòl beag and ceòl mòr. He can also thrill a concert audience with a demonstration of virtuosity and brilliance in the less formal type of music with its intricate and demanding technique. Lochbroom illustrates that it is still possible to captivate an audience with a programme of good tunes played well and interpreted sympathetically. Experienced pipers and younger players will find much to enjoy.

Lochbroom is the name of the parish where Alasdair's father the late Pipe Major Norman Gillies took him to live at the age of eleven.
