40 Years of the Orkney Folk Festival and The Piper and the Maker II

Festival Producer of Orkney Folk Festival, Craig Corse, joins Anna to chat about the 40th anniversary celebrations, and Hamish & Fin Moore share a new Piper and the Maker album.

The Orkney Folk Festival celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year after its humble beginnings in 1983. The Festival reached new heights last year, bringing 7400 audience members to hear folk music from all over the world. This year, newly appointed Festival Producer Craig Corse is at the reins, and has a programme of 24 artists from USA, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland, and of course the exceptional home-grown Orcadian talent. These will certainly be anniversary celebrations to remember!

Another soon to be anniversary is that of Piper and the Maker, which was released nearly 20 years ago. Father and son pipe makers, Hamish and Fin Moore, are celebrated craftsmen and have been making instruments collectively for nearly 40 years. Their new album, The Piper and the Maker II ~ Celebrating C, is inspired by the recent surge of interest in smallpipes in the key of C.
