Chris Metherell. EFDSS winter 09
Not only has Julian re-created many of the old English bagpipes, he has also produced melodies and arrangements which suit the instruments.. ….his own music, on pipes of his own construction - pipes turned largely in wood from trees which he knew personally.
Jim Gilchrist. The Scotsman
He does make good tunes, not complex, but with a way of getting into your head. Other CD's may boast more virtuoso playing, but many don't convey so much sheer pleasure.
Richard York. Northumbrian Pipers' Society Magazine
Guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of the listener. As the sleeve notes rightly say... 'Another celebration of English bagpipes playing English music! uplifting, gorgeous & fun'.
Jeannie Cambell. Piping Times
Your latest album reminds me of why music is the center of my life.
