Kalabakan (Borneo),

A reel of Scottish piping origin…written by P/M Angus MacDonald, MBE, Scots Guards. Originally written for the Highland pipes, it translates very well as a fiddle piece. This tune has been recorded by many traditional bands including the Battlefield Band and The Tannahill Weavers.

Kalabakan

Cracking tune. Quite often played medium paced and sung in the piping world but here we like to play it fast and quite straight.
