A five -piece Celtic Rock band playing covers from all genres with vocals and bagpipes, playing large functions to theme nights, New Years eve parties and international events. With a prime slot on the Glastonbury Croissant Neuf Stage in 2019 (where Ed Sheeran made his Glastonbury debut), and their album ‘Any Time It Rains’ released in June 19, Wight Hot Pipes are really making their mark. Hailing from the musically-creative shores of the Isle of Wight, Wight Hot Pipes are an internationally acclaimed five-piece band who commanded a standing ovation at the BBKing Club in Broadway Manhattan in 2017.
Diverse and eclectic, Wight Hot Pipes deliver a mix of musical genres which fuse in their melodic melting pot to create an exhilarating cocktail of flavours; spanning the entire spectrum from celtic all the way through to contemporary dance and gritty rock. With original pennings and covers including ‘Starlight’ and ‘Galway Girl’ the album, ‘Any Time It Rains’ is a 13-track collection that will leave you feeling energised and invigorated.
But it’s the sheer twist of bagpipes within their instrumental line-up that kicks the roof out of every venue they play. This, combined with the genius talent of lead singer, Tori, that give WHP absolute stand-out. Thought you knew bagpipes – think again! Wight Hot Pipes just brought the pipes smashing into rock music with an edgy attitude that ignites the room and whips up nothing short of euphoria. Their image and sound screams out from the sea of other bands, and Wight Hot Pipes are carving an indelible print onto the experiential journey of their ever-growing audience – once seen and heard, the charisma and the band is never forgotten. Wight Hot Pipes have taken piping to the next level – the Wight Hot Pipes revolution is coming, embrace it! And now with the added thrill of fire breathing bagpipes ! Unique and exciting.
The Dairyman’s Daughter is a ‘proper’ pub here on the Isle of Wight. Decorated in authentic, traditional memorabilia that reflect its rural surroundings, it is at the heart of Arreton Barns, the Island’s largest arts and crafts village.
