Matt Seattle (PKA - Dragonfly Music) has been a musician for over 50 years, playing pipes for more than half of that time. His focus on the Border piping tradition has gained him respect within the traditional music world, and having lived in Northumberland before moving to the Scottish Borders in 1998, his playing is grounded in the vibrant musical traditions flourishing on both sides of the Tweed.
