Episode XVII goes even deeper down the ancient instrument rabbit hole and looks at the oldest pipes in the world from the city state of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia - believed to be the precursor to all modern bagpipes. This is followed by more pipes throughout history, looking at a few different stages before we get to those we know today. If that wasn't enough we also look at the oldest song in existence, some rare recordings of Traveller musicians and singers, as well as a bit of Busta Rhymes and Frank Zappa for good measure.
