艺人介绍

by Craig HarrisDougie Pincock has brought a modern sensibility to Scotlands piping tradition. Although he continues to reveal a mastery of the traditional jigs and reels, Pincock has incorporated jazz and rock influences into his playing. During his seven-year tenure with the Battlefield Band, he played everything from traditional instrumentals to Celtic-tinged renditions of Creedence Clearwater Revivals swamp-rock classic, Bad Moon Rising. Dirty Linen praised him for playing progressive Scottish roots music at its best, while, ex-Battlefield Band bandmate Brian McNeill claimed that in Pincocks hands, the chanter is proud and secure — but thank God will never be safe, in his liner notes to Pincocks debut solo album, Something Blew. A graduate of the University of Glasgow, Pincock attracted international acclaim as a member of the Battlefield Band from 1984 until 1990. He began sharing his knowledge of the pipes with students at Glasgows Piping Center in December 1998. He was recently appointed the first director of the Centre of Excellence for Traditional Music at Plockton High School. He continues to teach whistle and flute at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dance. Pincock has been involved with Celtic band, Coila since 1990. In addition to appearing on their album, Get Reel, hes performed with the band at major music festivals. Pincock is a regular contributor to BBC Radio Scotland show, Travelling Folk.
