The Northumbrian Small Pipes Project


The Northumbrian Small Pipes Project is a photographic and film documentary exploring the musicians, instrument makers and communities keeping this distinctive musical tradition alive. Through portraits, performances and visits to workshops, the project will celebrate its heritage while introducing the instrument to new audiences ahead of the Northumbrian Pipers’ Society centenary in 2028.




IMAGERY ALREADY TAKEN FOR THE PROJECT

These images represent preliminary work undertaken in anticipation of the project. The proposed funding will enable me to develop this initial body of work into a much more extensive photographic and film documentary.
