"this boy was born to play a reel and when he did so on the Scottish Small Pipes, stamping both feet to produce a step dance rhythm section........ living precariously with his own exciting variations, he was magic" Alastair Clark The Scotsman.

"Fin Moore is quite outstanding as a teacher" Angus MacMillian, summer school student
