Diverse and eclectic Wight Hot Pipes, all the way from the Isle of Wight(!), 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. All with a twist of bagpipes which appeals to the Steampiunk world as being so much out of the ordinary it becomes surreal.
