I find your comment interesting. When I say style, the tunes can be new, it's the interpretation of them. If you can point me to other pipers who play a dance style let me know. Listen to the Barry Shears link I posted and tell me if you think he and the MacKenzie brothers play a different style. I haven't heard dance sets like this in Scotland yet, so I'm interested. Maybe Barry is making a more subtle distinction.
