But for the audience, most frequently, this can seem like the most
boring performance of an endless set of technical exercises.
As an example of the opposite effect, Chris Ormston played a number of
tunes with variations as part of his concert set, including The Keel Row
and his own variations on Peacock's Tune, at Killington this year.
Neither the Pipers Gathering table nor myself, with bagpipediscs.com's
store, had enough copies of Chris's CD to meet demand afterwards. A
number of those asking me for it were people who were not Gathering
participants but locals who had chosen the concert as their evenings
entertainment.
