Piper, singer, songwriter and instrument designer Donald WG Lindsay is joined by acclaimed fiddler Roo Geddes for an intimate duo concert in the An Lanntair gallery space, presented alongside Lindsay’s exhibition Dreaming Pipes: Ten Years of the Lindsay System.
At the centre of the performance is the Lindsay System: Lindsay’s extended-range, keyless Scottish smallpipe design, now widely played and heard across contemporary folk, experimental and film music. In this close-listening duo setting, smallpipes, voice, fiddle and piano come together in a programme of Scots song, slow airs and tune sets, drawing on traditional melody, new writing, and the shared musical world of Lindsay and Geddes’ forthcoming album project Honeymoon Bridge.
