We came across Danny when we were trying to find a group collecting signatures for a petition to save Harmony Hall in Truro Road from closure. We never did find them, but had a very enjoyable interval listening to the pipe playing of this young man from Newcastle.

Danny is studying English Folk Music at Newcastle University. The pipe is a "border pipe" which came before Scottish/Irish pipes. Border pipes were played widely in England.

The interviewer is Adele Tinman.
