The Tinkers - MUSIC 
Jigs and reels from the Scottish and Irish Highlands delight audiences of all ages.
Assembly: The Tinkers, a roving pipe-and-drum band, bring their vitality and humor to stages across America as they blend the ancient art of Highland bagpipes with the primitive, driving rhythms of drums. Enjoy stirring jigs and rousing reels from the Scottish Highlands, spiced with the Celtic tunes of Ireland and the many lands graced by the Gaelic people. Listen to the tones of the Great Highland Bagpipe joined to the ancient and haunting call of the Bronze-Age Celtic Horn - a sound lost for over a millennium. An up-beat and lively presentation, band members provide interesting historical background about the kilt and other Scottish highland dress, as well as daily life in 18th century Scotland. Students are able to imagine living in times long past as they listen to music that was heard hundreds of years ago at Scottish weddings or other celebrations, or even around the campfire of a Highland raiding party.
