There is no middle ground with bagpipes: you either love them or you hate them. You either play them or you don't. It's not like the piano: "Oh, I dabble a little." Bagpipes don't accept "dabbling". And, if you're a piper, you either love piobaireachd or you don't. This is the book for someone who loves it.

In the Kilberry book, tunes are written out without explanation of their history or style of play. This book expands on the Kilberry book giving stories behind tune names, different styles of play, anecdotes about players and tune authors both.

Obviously, this isn't a book for everyone, but if you love the bagpipes, play the pipes and love piobaireachd, this is the book for you. ( )
