Episode 12 - The Bagpipe Factory

Gary visits the bagpipe makers RG Hardie in Glasgow and takes you on a tour of their workshops to see how the instruments we play and the uniforms we wear start their lives. And look out for an exciting announcement too! There's music from two bands who have won over twenty world titles between them - Muirhead and Sons, and Field Marshall Montgomery, as well as tunes from Fraser Fifield, the Ghillies and the Cape Breton pairing of Jamie MacInnis and Paul MacNeil.
