Bagpipe

101/101 Great podcast. :)

Don’t want to live without this podcast!

Gary West always does a fantastic job entertaining, educating, and exposing his audience to new or diverse piping and related music. I am so glad he has struck out on his own after BBC made the WRONG and tragic choice to not continue the BBC Pipeline show. Any bagpipe or pipe band musicians out there, this is an asset to your quality of life! And for non-piping-related folks, the show is always informative and relaxing. Enjoy!

Loving this podcast as a new piper!

This podcast is a great introduction to piping across the world, and inspires me to get practicing on my small pipes! I look forward to meeting you at Cairdeas! Cheers, Lucia
Whit the...?

Great selection of all types of piping…

… and who knows what else Gary might come up with in this new format.

A new chapter after BBC Pipeline

Gary hosted BBC’s Pipeline for nearly 20 years and a thousand episodes. Sadly, shortsighted budget cuts at the BBC ended Pipeline. Gary’s new Podast “Enjoy your Piping”, is an improvement over the BBC format without their restrictions. In the Podcast, you get a far better sense of Gary, his talents, humor, and skills. BBC’s loss is the worldwide piping community’s gain. If you’re missing Pipeline, tune in to the new “Enjoy your piping” podcast and you’ll not be disappointed!
