| WELCOME to Anthony Robb's site. Its primary function is to acknowledge the huge amount of help and support given freely by others in his first 40 years of piping. Most of these years were spent studying the traditional music of north Northumberland - a process which still continues. People in the know seem to think some progress has been made, at least in terms of knowledge acquired if not in actual performance. The photos above were taken a mile or two north of Boulmer close to where Janet Dickson painted the cover of Windy Gyle Band's new CD. Heather's lobster-pot float, found on the high-water mark, had drifted in from Kent, Washington on the Pacific coast. Clearly it's not just tunes that find their way across the seas to distant destinations! Warm thanks to anyone whose photo is shown and to those mentioned in the People page and to you for your visit. |

| Latest: I've been fettling two lovely old sets of pipes for Jimmy Little. The Robert Reid set belonged to his grandfather and was the set Jimmy started to learn on back in 1971 when he travelled through to Joe and Hannah's at Rowhope. The other set by Baty of Wark was sold to Jimmy by Jack Armstrong and became Jimmy's set for most of his piping career. |
The Baty Set (circa 1850)
The Robert Reid Set (circa 1830)
