 Wicked Tinkers
WICKED TINKERS is a four-piece band that features award-winning Scottish bagpiper Aaron Shaw. The emotion and power of the Great
Highland Bagpipe and various ethnic drums dueling with an Australian aboriginal instrument, the Didgeridoo, and the Bronze-Age
Irish Horn - a sound lost for over three millennium - explode into tribal sounds of the Scottish Highlands, Ireland and the many
lands graced by the Gaelic people. This mixture of sounds brings bagpiping back to the forefront of the Scottish Highland Games
entertainment circuit. WICKED TINKERS mesmerizing music, humorous exploits and mysterious talent convert all ages into
fans of bagpipes and drums.
