Join Gary for more music from the world of bagpipes, this week with two fine voices thrown in for good measure! These belong to Andy Hunter, who gives us his rendition of the song version of the Ewe wi the Crookit Horn in the company of the Dysart and Dundonald Pipe Band, and nobel laureate, Seumas Heaney, who reads his poem, The Given Note, accompanied by the great uillean piper, Liam O'Flynn. There's also sets from Donald MacPherson, Gordon Duncan, Ceolbeg, Assynt, the Scottish Gas Caledonia and Galician supremo, Cristina Pato.
