  • Description

    New release from a champion player of Smallpipes and Concertina music from Northumberland.

    Rob Say is one of today’s foremost performers of traditional music from the North East of England. As he learned, he was fortunate to be able to listen to, and play, with some of the greatest of the older generation of musicians.
    He plays both English concertina and the iconic instrument of Northumbria, the smallpipes, on which he has won many competitions. Here he duets with another champion piper Andy May, as well as being accompanied by the lively piano playing of Will Chamberlain.
    Rob has absorbed his local style of playing and now continues and enhances one of the British Isles’ most vital musical traditions.
