Episode 57 – Pipers’ Persuasion during the spring had two long interviews with Iain MacDonald of Neilston both at his home and at the National Piping Centre regarding his bagpipe collection.
Iain Has travelled extensively and studied all forms of music and instruments and his very erudite language and great memory comes across in a very interesting fashion so that although long, time just flies passed!
We thank Iain for his time and effort in preparing for the interview and setting up the collection at the NPC.
