I wrote this for the liner notes of my CD SOME OF ME PIPES, released in 2009. I give a description of the pipes I play on the CD and what woods each one is made of made of , and where in the village of Ashby Parva, each of these trees grew.
This is an article I wrote for my brother Johns 70th birthday festival about my use of fruitwood woods for my pipe making that grew in the village of Ashby Parva, Leicestershire, which is where all our family was born.
A substantial article I wrote for the Spring 2007 issue of Chanter, the journal of The Bagpipe Society. The bag is central and basic to a bagpipe- it is the unique feature which makes a bagpipe a bagpipe. Yet there does not appear to be much written about the topic.
