Frankfort resident John Ludwig is piping his way back onto the music scene with his newest release “Pipes for the People,” comprised by his alter-ego, Piper Johnny. Like Ludwig, Piper Johnny composes songs that he hopes listeners will connect too on a personal level as well as a musical one.
We are a launching a brand new bagpipe music and video website. This site will a social networking site for pipers, drummers, pipe bands and Celtic musicians.
Andrew and Margaret Watchorn Northumbrian Smallpipes and Fiddle
Andrew and Margaret have over 20 years experience of performing together and have a reputation for playing with great sensitivity, enhancing the tunes with their own arrangements. From the mid 1970’s they were fortunate to learn many tunes from playing alongside older Northumbrian musicians, especially Joe Hutton.
Their repertoire is extensive and includes tunes from Northumberland, Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and North America.
Individually, Andrew and Margaret have both won competitions at traditional music festivals for solo playing and compositions. Together, they have won numerous duet competitions.
In addition to smallpipes and fiddle, they also play Swedish bagpipes, hummelchen, guitar and whistle.
