Fred Morrison at Edinburgh FC / EFC
Edinburgh FC is most pleased to welcome one of Scotland's top pipers, Fred Morrison, tonight. Fred's last show with EFC, in 2017 at Summerhall, sold out. Get your ticket(s) now to avoid disappointment!
Although Morrison was born and raised near Glasgow, its the celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his fathers native South Uist, in the outer Hebrides, that forms the bedrock of his intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style. His outstanding technical prowess saw him winning many top competition prizes while still at school, meanwhile being inspired by pioneering acts like the Bothy Band and the Tannahill Weavers. Although his first-love instrument remains the great Highland bagpipes, over the years his mastery has expanded to encompass whistles, Scottish smallpipes, or reelpipes Morrison being a pivotal populariser of this once-rare variety and Irish uilleann pipes. He was also one of the first Scottish artists to forge dynamic links with his Celtic cousins in Brittany and north-west Spain, adding further to his repertoire of influences and tunes, and has long been renowned as an outstanding tune composer.
