Andrew Morrill descends from a distinguished line of bagpipers. That line includes his great grandfather who won the Queen's Jubilee in Scotland at the age of eighteen and, as his prize, performed for Queen Victoria. Andrew is also a leader of the Wasatch & District Pipe Band, has been a winner of individual piping competitions, and is a sought-after judge for many national competitions. In addition to playing the Highland Pipes, he is one of the few players of the Scottish Lowland ("cauldwind" or "parlor") Pipes. The haunting, seldom-heard call of the lowland pipes is a distinctive part of the Shanahy's unique sound. Other pipes Andrew performs on are the Uilleann (Irish) Pipes and the Border (Northumbrian) Pipes. Andrew also performs on whistle, flute and bodhran.
