Andy and Margaret Watchorn

Northumbrian Smallpipes and Fiddle

 

What do people say about us?

Your music is absolutely wonderful and was praised by everyone. A lot of the guests had never previously heard of the Northumbrian Pipes. Needless to say, they were bowled over. Together with the fiddle, you helped to lift spirits and make our day very memorable.”

“Their duo work is simply beautiful throughout. Their smallpipes and fiddle tunes are object lessons in direct, subtle playing. Examples of this exceptional quality abound. These are seriously good players.”

One thing I got 100% right: the Watchorns! I wouldn’t even consider doing the event again without you.  You were marvellous.
So many thanks once again.”
