A GP on Isle of Wight… an award winning bagpiper…7-foot 7inches in his Busby… It must be Piping Hot Doc …It’s not just the bagpipes but a contemporary mix of bagpipe music with violin, guitar, keyboard, vocals and even rock music…and it’s all in aid of The Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
The CD will buzz with the sounds of bagpipes, as you have never heard them before. From Amazing Grace and Theme from Titanic with the sweet vocals of Charlotte Barton Hoare and violin sound of Joanne Willey, to the bagpipe version of the Queen’s rock piece ‘We will Rock you’ with the electric guitar of Jamie Griffin. . There will be favourites such as the tear jerker Highland Cathedral played with the IOW Youth Concert Band and a sing-a-long to well known Scottish ballads. The album will culminate with The Last Post on bugle and Flowers of the Forest on pipes with Alan Titchmarsh’s rendering of ‘The Fallen’ in a moving tribute to those who have lost their lives.
You don’t have to enjoy bagpipes to love this CD.
All the proceeds are to go to the Hospice.
