Fin Moore is a piper, born & bred. He plays the Highland pipes, Border pipes and Scottish Small Pipes. For five years, he played in the Vale of Atholl Juvenile Band and is now working with his father, Hamish, as very successful pipe makers. They have made nearly 1000 sets of pipes. Their pipes are played all over the world and appear on dozens of recordings.

Fin is currently playing with Dannsa, and Sarah Hoy as part of a fiddle and pipes duo. He is also member of the pipe quartet Seudan who have just released their debut album on Greentrax records. Seudan play reproductions of 18th-century Highland pipes and mostly play traditional Scottish tunes. Although he hasn’t recorded a solo album yet, he appears on several compilations. Fin has also been practising his step dancing, which means he can sometimes be seen giving a step or two!

The Summer School’s team of tutors is made up of internationally renowned performers with proven track records as teachers and educationalists.

All classes are designed for intermediate to advanced (minimum 2 years instrument experience) adults and children over 6 years of age.
