One of the most respected and sought-after musicians in the UK,Dick Gaughanhas spent years ''on the road'' and he has made many recordings.

It used to be the custom in Scotland for apprentices to present a piece of work to demonstrate what they had learned of their craft, known as thePrentice Piece. Dick considers that the apprenticeship served within his field of music never ends - he has been serving his for half a century and will continue for the rest of his life.
Dick was voted one of the Top 10 Folk Voices of the 20th Century by listeners of BBC Radio 2's Mike Harding Show.
