In the Bag - Paul Martin

Paul Martin is a multi instrumentalist from Durham in the North East of England, who is most often found playing different varieties of bagpipe in a folk or medieval setting. His background is mainly in the folk music and piping traditions of the British Isles, particularly that of Northern England and the Borders, although for some time now has been exploring Medieval music and has recorded an album of English music on bagpipes from 13th-15th centuries.
