This is my arrangement of ACDC’s Thunderstruck and the great Gordon Duncan’s Angus Thing. I wrote this arrangement when I was 16 years old and posted a video of myself playing it on Youtube. You can view the link below.

Thank you so much for Thunderstruck-Angus Thing. I was asked to play it for a wedding recessional. It was quite an involved piece so I shortened it for the recessional but the bride was thrilled and said I was the highlight of their wedding so thank you so much for the music. It was just what they were looking for!
Wow, it’s fantastic that Thunderstruck-Angus Thing helped make the wedding so memorable, and we love that the bride and guests enjoyed your performance. Thank you for bringing our music to life in such a special way! 😊
Great help with finding the music for Thunderstruck. Needed it for a wedding in October and purchasing was simple and the music is perfoect.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the review! We’re stoked you found the music. Glad the purchase was easy, and we can’t wait for it to bring some epic piping energy to the October wedding! Hope the wedding is a blast!
Easy and fast !

Decorate your pipes with your favourite colours. No need to use the boring yellow and black hemp anymore, it's the 21st century.
A very excellent taste given to Mason's Apron! It's nice to see other fine world class musicians take great tunes, and add other "ingredients" to the composition! A true fine job Lincoln!

My Daughter, who is well aware of my love for piping, purchased a Hilton Chanter as a gift. From the opening to the playing, and the newly invigorated feeling I get just from holding this well-crafted instrument, it's astounding. I cannot praise it highly enough. I certainly can't wait for my tutor to hear the improvement in Playing and attitude towards practising. I thought the price was a little steep until I interacted with my new best friend, the Hilton Chanter. This feeling will last long after the price is forgotten. Thank you, Hilton.
Normally I have my drone tops tune at the hemp line.
This hemp is so gorgeous, it has to be shown.
The materials and craftmanship are stellar. But that color though! I love it!!! I'm going to have fun showing this off when I get good enough to play at the jam sessions.
I was lost for words when I opened this book.
As a piper taught by the legendary Pipe-Major Donald MacLeod, I have seen a number of piping books over the past 70 years. While all have helped me in different ways, none has inspired me to begin writing my own compositions, as has Ceol Beag (vol.1) by Lincoln Hilton.
This book has everything: from a list of ‘unorthodox movements’, to a collection of innovative tunes that provoke, stimulate and boggle the mind.
Who would have thought of writing a tune by eliminating the first note of an original melody and commencing the ‘new’ version by making the second note the base of the new tune? Startling, to say the least.
Since receiving a copy of this book from my wife Jane, for my 81st birthday recently, I have written a number of my own compositions. These include a tune in mazurka time for my younger grand-son, who has Polish heritage.
I have also begun modifying some of the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Vivaldi for the highland bagpipe. This idea works even better on my Blair digital bagpipes, where I have access to different keys and modes.
And I was impressed by Lincoln’s embrace of relatively unused bagpipe notes such as C natural and F natural, which many pipers are either not aware of or have overlooked in their playing.
To me, this book is the Bohemian Rhapsody of bagpipe music books and one which I will treasure for the rest of my days. Thank you Jane and thank you Lincoln.

A lot of work to learn it and be able to play it on the pipe...
A real challenge !

great setting……. now if only I can put it to memory!
So glad you’re enjoying the setting of Mason’s Apron! And hey, getting it to memory is half the adventure. Take it phrase by phrase, let it sink in, and before you know it you’ll be playing it without even thinking. We’re cheering you on every step of the way. Happy piping!
