PIPE BAND MUSIC
Sir.-From time to time, pleas have been made through the columns of The Listener that more regular recognition be given to lovers of bagpipe musicall, apparently, without avail. Would it be pertinent to ask what has become of the Home pipe band and solo recordings which listeners used to enjoy in the Pipes of Scotland series formerly heard over all stations? Would it also be pertinent to ask if the pro gramme department obtains the latest recordings of the Home pipe bands and leading solo pipers? Finally, Sir, would it be pertinent to ask that listeners be provided with weekly broadcasts of pipe music of the above type from each of the YA stations? A very small percentage of New Zealand pipe bands, which are heard at irregular intervals from various stations, provide a standard of music comparable with those overseas recordings which I have already mentioned.

(1. Pipes of Scotland was a BBC programme series, playing rights in which have long expired. 2. All available recordings from known sources of supply are bought and circulated. 3. Each YA station broadcasts a pro gramme once a month.--Ed.)
