Piper, singer, songwriter and instrument designer Donald WG Lindsay is joined by acclaimed fiddler Roo Geddes for an intimate acoustic duo concert in Taigh Chearsabhagh on Saturday 23rd May, part of a short Hebridean run around the opening of Lindsay’s touring exhibition Dreaming Pipes: Ten Years of the Lindsay System.
At the centre of the performance is the Lindsay System: Lindsay’s extended-range, keyless Scottish smallpipe design, now widely played in contemporary folk, experimental and film music.
In this close-listening duo setting, smallpipes, voice, fiddle and piano come together in a programme of song, slow airs and tune sets, drawing on traditional melody, new writing, and the shared musical world of Lindsay and Geddes’ forthcoming album project Honeymoon Bridge, alongside music they recorded together for 2025’s Two Boats Under the Moon (***** BBC Music Magazine; **** Songlines; **** The Scotsman).
Donald WG Lindsay’s work moves between traditional music, original song, open-source instrument development and long-form artistic research. Read more about the Lindsay System here.
Musician and educator Roo Geddes is an accomplished Scottish fiddler and pianist. A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Roo was raised in a deeply musical family and plays on his great-great-grandfather’s violin.
