Album Description Welcome to our third CD. On this recording you will find what we call 'Gaelic Bagpipe Music' ? not the refined playing of a modern pipe band, but our own version of these ancient, tribal sounds. WICKED TINKERS perform the kind of music you might have heard hundreds of years ago at a Scottish wedding, ceilidh, or around the campfire of a Highland raiding party. We blend the emotion and power of the Great Highland Bagpipe with the pounding of raw tribal rhythms and on this cd add the haunting tones of the 'Corn na hÉireann'- the Bronze Age Irish Horn - a sound lost for millennia. We play the music of the Scottish Highlands, spicing it with the Celtic tunes of Ireland and the many lands graced by the Gaelic people. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsEclectic and exciting Jessie :-) | WA state | 08/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I agree- the Tinkers have a style all their own that is dynamic and exciting. I love that while the music is primitive it also has great technical elements. How does he play so fast?! This was my first Tinkers CD and I still like it best- in part /because/ of the vocals. It's a good contrast to occasionally have a context for the music and there are definitely much worse vocalists than Mr. Shaw out there. Yes, the CD's are not as great as a live performance. I concede that it's very difficult indeed to capture guys in kilts dancing on pub tables (while they're playing) on a CD. Because Tinkers have so much "personality" the CD isn't a perfect substitute, but it will at least sustain you until the band returns to your area." Fun folk bagpipe and drum band! Douglas A. Huttleston | Los Angeles, CA | 10/23/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Saw them live, bought the cd, and now I have hours of bagpipes blowing out my truck windows. The drums, various drones, and occasional vocals add to the variety. I love 'em!" Ah, the wee skirl o' the peep Andrew Green | 06/24/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'm always looking for something new. I bought a Norwegian rock and roll record the other day. So I saw an ad for "Loud" by something called the Wicked Tinkers in the back of a Scottish goods magazine. Decided to check 'em out on Amazon, read a few reviews. Ah! One used for sale. Why not, life is short. Well I received my package and put the CD in. I heard some droning instruments and then...HEY! did you think I would spoil it for you? Let's just say that they play with passion and abandon, whacking away at the drums, and I pretty much agree with all of the other reviews. It's not your father's bagpipe album. I gave a copy to a friend who listens to it while he does his boxing workout. Cool!Note to the Tinkers: you guys are better when you simply play and not sing. (But don't worry, there's only one track with singing on it here.) I wish the current crop of tattoo'd and souless "rockers" out there would take note of this music.It's heavier in the Highlands, lads and lasses!"
