Bagpipe Hero (downloadable music from Hoopla)

Bagpipe Hero
by The Red Hot Chilli Pipers [Hoopla Music] 

This is a rather interesting mix of songs, all preformed on the bagpipes. Scottish classics like Caledonia, Loch Lomond, Flower of Scotland and Highland Cathedral are included alongside pop/rock/alternative songs like Long Way to the Top, Chasing Cars and We Will Rock You. Again these are all played on the bagpipes and it was a little strange hearing some of these songs played that way, but it was fun and upbeat and I would definitely listen to it again. If you enjoy bagpipe music like I do, but feel you’ve listened to the same Scottish songs over and over, this is perfect and refreshing. It may also be appealing if you’ve never listened to the bagpipes and want to try it with some songs that are more recognizable to you than classic Scottish ones.

This album is available on Hoopla to download or stream, either via the app or their website hoopladigital.com.
