Hearing this reinforces for me the difference between a real "musician" and a "technician." I've been playing pipes a long time... can keep everything in tune and steady... can hit all the notes and embellishments technically correct... can play at speed and in time... but there's something people like Brighde have that I don't. People tell me I'm a good piper as I motor through jigs and hornpipes (and I sometimes believe them), but then I listen to something like this and I accept my limits. It's not about how complex the tune is or how fast the fingers are, it's about how you express it. I wish I could do it like that. I'm a "technician." She's a "musician."
My favourite musician on these islands at the moment. Worth her weight in gold

You also might be too hard on yourself. Every musician is on a journey of development!
Absolutely beautiful !!!!!
A beautiful, heart warming performance. Thank you Brighde.

She should do an album with Robin Guthrie, while there's still a chance ..............
