One of Celtic music's most profoundly skilled and audaciously inventive exponents, Scottish piper Fred Morrison is justly famed for his passionately expressive style. Rooted in the Gaelic traditions of his father's native South Uist, and enriched by influences from far and wide, which has seen him dubbed the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes. Equally accomplished on the great Highland bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes, whistles and the Irish uilleann pipes, he has featured in the seminal Scottish bands Clan Alba and Capercaillie, and is also a record breaking champion on the competitive piping circuit. His current album project Outlands explores the fresh connections he's discovered between Hebridean, Irish and bluegrass music.
