Description

Charles Witherspoon meets Joseph Warnock, pipe-maker and player. Mr Warnock started playing the pipes with the Tullylagan Pipe Band in 1924. He talks about the intricacies of the bagpipe and the skill needed to play one. Next Charles meets Andy Warnock, Joseph’s son, who makes pipes. Andy talks Charles through the craft of pipe-making and shows Charles an extraordinary set of pipes that were played at Culloden.

This report was shot for a series called 7 Degrees West, a kind of early forerunner of Lesser Spotted Ulster, which saw features on old traditions and off-the-beaten-track places. Although the complete programmes, which included studio material, have gone from the archives, a number of these filmed location shoots featuring Charlie on his bike have survived. Look out for others in the Digital Film Archive.
