When the Pipers Play is a fascinating account of the bagpipe as an instrument of war, packed full of remarkable stories. Based on the author Patrick Kings award-winning films, the book combines historical research with exclusive interviews and traces the crucial role of the military piper from the Highlander at Culloden to the carnage of Waterloo and from the trenches of the Great War to the beaches of Normandy. The author reveals how the use of music in war, including drums, bugles and pipes, has for centuries controlled the battlefield. His analysis of the pipes ranges from regulating the soldiers day in camp to a role in wartime propaganda films and how the instrument remains the one primal element in the sophistication of modern warfare. The regimental piper is the real hero of this book. A must read for anyone who enjoys stories of courage and adventure.

Often, they appeared just once, tucked away in the corner of a lavish stand at one of the big international motor shows; some were never shown in public, confined to technical conferences and seminars. Not flashy dream cars, rather, these are the real concept cars, produced less for show and eye-catching magazine covers, and more to demonstrate technological prowess of their makers. Ray Hutton delves into the archives to remember forty of these fascinating one-offs created through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, a time of rapid development for everyday cars and growth in sales for the premium brands. Between them, they predicted almost all of the features of todays production cars. And, just as important, are the ambitious failures and the purposely provocative that led nowhere. Most of these cars are long forgotten. They are, in a sense, the cars that never were, and they represent milestones in that development as well as being fascinating in their own right. This book brings them briefly back to life.
