Judy Barker is one of my personal heroes and I was downright giddy with excitement when she agreed to speak to me. She's a wonderful piper, an amazing vocalist, and a lovely person. In the world of Pipe & Song there's no one like her. In this episode she shared parts of her journey, her method, some fun stories and experiences, and she talks us through some of the beautiful tracks from her excellent album: Chanters Weave. I highly, highly recommend looking up her album and various videos she has on YouTube. Buy the album, stream it, leave exuberant praise in the comments on her YouTube videos - I could not be more pleased nor more excited to share this conversation with you, friends!
