  • Broad reaching …

    I’ve been listening to Gary’s podcast since almost the very beginning.

    It’s quite broad ranging and not only for GHB but for a range of „pipes“ and over a range of musical tastes, not just Scottish traditional.

    Some of the music played is „not to my taste“ but I think it’s important to listen to other music types to at least know the are out there, and that’s a big plus to me.

    Also worth noting Gary explains everything technical very well, sonography for beginners to learn from.
