Pipedown
Pipedown are a 4 piece Scottish band with the lineup: Lee Moore (Highland and Scottish smallpipes), Axel Campbell (mandolins), Steve Reid (acoustic guitar) and Steve Fivey (percussion).
They play fresh arrangements of traditional and modern piping tunes from Scotland and Ireland, influenced as much by Breton and Bulgarian folk music as by the world pipe band scene.
The band’s two cds to date; “The First Measure” on Greentrax in 2002 and “Roag” in 2006 on Phat Controller (now Skye Records) have been well received by critics.
They have played a wide range of festivals, including Celtic Connections, Orkney Folk Festival, The Highland Festival, Piping Live!, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Fête
de la Saint Loup, Fête des Filets Bleus, Folkest, etc. and also in more intimate folk club settings.
