In this special show which was premiered at Piping Live! 2022, Allan is joined on stage by a house band of traditional music greats – Finlay MacDonald, Iain MacFarlane, Leonard Barry and Ali Hutton – as they perform Allan’s compositions from his seminal Moidart collections The First Hundred and The Second Hundred, including his tune We’re a Case the Bunch of Us. “
