Up, Down & Around - Leo Rickard

SPINCD1014

Since the release of his debut solo recording Pure Piping he has been busy with other musical projects and has kept putting off returning to the studio.

This CD is different to his first one in that he has included some newly composed tunes including two of his own. He has also used some accompaniment to widen the appeal of his music to a greater audience. The use of the Concert Flute and Cello also makes an interesting sound along with the Uilleann Pipes. 

He has matured as a piper and has consolidated his own style of piping to make �Up, Down and Around� a CD worthy of critical acclaim.
