The third programme in the series looks at the bellows blown piping traditions of Northumbria and Ireland. The programme also tells the story of the remarkable resurgence of the Scottish small pipes, rediscovered by musicians during the folk revival of the 1970s as an instrument to be blended alongside other musical instruments in the burgeoning folk band scene. A trend that has continued right up to the present day, supported by the skill of small pipe makers such as Hamish and Fin Moore.
