    "IT REALLY DOES SEEM, WHEN ONE HEARS HIS PLAYING, THAT THE TWO LOOSE ENDS OF A PIPING TRADITION HAVE BEEN PICKED UP AND TIED TOGETHER AGAIN SO THAT THEY ARE AN UNBROKEN THREAD ONCE MORE."
    WILLIAM MARSHALL, BAGPIPE SOCIETY

    Matt Seattle (PKA - Dragonfly Music) has been a musician for over 50 years, playing pipes for more than half of that time. His focus on the Border piping tradition has gained him much respect within the traditional music world. Having lived in Northumberland and now based in the Scottish Borders, Matt’s playing is grounded in the vibrant musical traditions flourishing on both sides of the Tweed.

    Wedding Pipes

    Since mediæval times bagpipes have been associated with weddings and celebrations all across Europe. This association is particularly strong in the Borders (both sides!).

    Performance

    Matt plays solo and in a duo with Teviotdale guitarist Donald Knox. He also gives talks and leads workshops tailored to suit both general and specialist audiences.
