My Milsom J45 has, of course, a larger body than a parlour and can be very loud. However its resonance is also remarkable. Even when strings are at the stage of needing to be changed its sound continues and echoes for much longer than any of my other guitars.

I totally agree about how emotive they sound, but not sure I would like to play them. I was today years old when I found out that the name comes from píobaí uilleann ("pipes of the elbow"). There is no historical record of the name or use of the term uilleann pipes before the 20th century. Piano, for me. Peter If the Irish have the “pipes of the elbow”, do the Scots have the “pipes of the armpit”? Brian I think we’d call them pipes of the oxter.

Enormous talent with a huge stage presence. I’ve seen her a few times over the years and she never disappoints.

Wonderful! I never thought Guy could ever have been that young. I’m surprised he lived as long as he did. He also wrote on of Mrs doc’s favourite love songs.

This is a sore one. A huge figure in the Scottish music scene; more as a producer over the last few years but he could still command a stage when he performed. I rarely missed a chance to see him perform. Gently Does It is probably my favourite too, geddarby.
