Piping Live!

Rob has recorded eight CDs of historical Scottish lute and guitar music, three of which reached the Number One position in the Scottish Classical Music Chart. In 2001 he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship for his research into medieval Scottish music, which led him to studying with Sufi musicians in Istanbul and Morocco. He broadcast an entire solo concert on BBC Radio 3 from John Smith’s Square, London. He has presented academic papers at conferences in Portugal and Germany, and has been published many times. Rob has been active in both historical and contemporary music.

These days Rob plays on electric and acoustic guitars but with a 17th-century lute technique, bringing the best of Scotland’s traditional past into the present.
