Tunes on single octave Northumbrian Pipes.

'The Primitives' is that rare thing; an honest, intimate and personal statement from a musician with something profound to say. The message is not the usual "listen to me", but instead "listen to this". Anthony gives absolute primacy to the instrument and the music he has so carefully chosen to reveal its unique sound. And what a fabulous voice these "primitive" pipes have - sweet, yet suffused with a raw, earthy energy. Anthony is known as someone who thinks a great deal about his music and feels it even more. This work confirms him as a master of his craft - a piper steeped in the traditions of the North East of England, possessing the confidence and respect to allow the music to speak for itself.
