Re: Scottish Irish Whats the Difference?
Pub sessions, by the way, are much governed by pipers as well - not highland pipes, of course, but they have an incredible variety of indoor versions, mainly smallpipes and border pipes. I attended a session once in Uig (on Skye), with two fiddlers, a guitar player and one round merry fellow with bellows-driven border pipes. The fiddles were inaudible and the guitar player and I had to bang chords at maximum power to be faintly heard beside those pipes. Some of the tunes were of Irish origin, but modified to make do with the limited pitch range of the pipes.
