Join Gary for more high end music from the world of bagpipes, featuring tunes from Dysart and Dundonald and Alberta Caledonia Pipe Bands, from Andrew Carlisle, the Peatbog Faeries and a project featuring the music of the far north of Scotland entitled Urachadh. There's  a double helping from a brand new album, Epic New Dawn, featuring a fabulous community-based piping and drumming initiative from the East Ayrshire Pipe Band Academy and the Kilmarnock Pipe Band.
