Our Take

Gordon Duncan's "The Circular Breathing" is a whirlwind of Celtic music that will make you want to don a kilt and dance a Highland fling. The album opens with the energetic reel "The Circular Breathing" showcasing Duncan's incredible skill on the bagpipes - seriously, this guy can make those pipes sing like no one else.

Throughout the album, Duncan seamlessly blends traditional Scottish tunes with his own compositions, creating a sound that is both authentic and innovative. Tracks like "The Shifting Bowl" and "Sleepy Maggie" transport listeners to the misty hills of Scotland, while "The Belly Dancer" adds a touch of exotic flair to the mix.

But it's not just Duncan's musical prowess that shines on this album - his infectious energy and joy for the music is palpable in every note. You can practically feel the sweat flying as he effortlessly navigates complex melodies and intricate rhythms.

Overall, "The Circular Breathing" is a must-listen for fans of Celtic music, bagpipes, or just good old-fashioned toe-tapping tunes. Gordon Duncan may no longer be with us, but his music lives on in this vibrant and lively album. So grab yourself a dram of whisky, kick back, and let the music take you on a journey to the Highlands. Slàinte mhath!

Despite his undeniable talent and larger-than-life persona, Duncan remains refreshingly humble. He's not in it for the fame or fortune - he's in it for the music. And that's what makes him truly special. So whether you're a die-hard bagpipe enthusiast or just someone looking for something a little different, Gordon Duncan is the artist for you. With his unique blend of traditional Celtic tunes and modern flair, Duncan is sure to leave you tapping your feet and craving more.
