Iain Gelston<\/strong>\u00a0is an award winning player of the Border Pipes and Northumbrian Smallpipes. Based in South Shields, just across the river from the home of the famous Reids, 18th\/19th\u00a0century inventors of the modern Smallpipes, he is steeped in the piping tradition of the North East of England and the Border.<\/p>\n

Iain began playing the Smallpipes in his early twenties, with the help of master piper Adrian Schofield, but only took up the Border Pipes a decade ago. He is now championing a revival of interest in the big pipes and their repertoire in Northumberland via his work with the Northumbrian Pipers\u2019 Society.<\/p>\n

Iain plays Border Pipes by Dominic Allan (G) and Nigel Richard (A), and Smallpipes by David Burleigh\/Colin Ross in traditional F+ pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
