0:00:38 > 0:00:41Loads of you have been in touch to tell us

0:00:41 > 0:00:42about the snow where you live.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Go for it, guys!

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Mia.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48And I'm Josh.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49And we're from Warrington.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51And it's snowing!

0:00:51 > 0:00:55And Isla and it's snowing in Wrexham in North Wales.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56I'm Emily.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57And I'm Agatha.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58And we're sisters.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01And we live in Walthamstow.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, my name is Jacques and we're in Guernsey.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's snowing for the first time in five years.

0:01:07 > 0:01:15We're really liking it.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20We hope that school's going to be cancelled.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22And we can go out sledging and make

0:01:22 > 0:01:26snow angels and throw snowballs.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Our school's been closed down because of the snow,

0:01:28 > 0:01:33so now we're going to be having loads of fun outside playing.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yeah!

0:01:36 > 0:01:41We're going to stop throwing snowballs at our headteacher.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43The snow feels, like, really fluffy.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45But this one feels crunchy.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47I hope it snows more

0:01:47 > 0:01:51so I can build a snowman after school.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56I don't remember having snow like this before.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58So it's good.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03We built a snowman in the park and then we came here

0:02:03 > 0:02:07and it's very unusual to have snow next to the sea,

0:02:07 > 0:02:15so we've been very excited to be off school as well.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Sport now and amazing news for Swansea City fans.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Their team have reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup

0:02:21 > 0:02:23for the first time in 54 years.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27They beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at the Liberty Stadium.

0:02:27 > 0:02:33Tottenham or Rochdale await in the next round.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Next to an amazing ten-year-old

0:02:34 > 0:02:37who's learning to play the bagpipes with one hand.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42I went to meet him.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46For Guy, this is a dream come true.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49He's learned to play the scales, and let's be honest,

0:02:49 > 0:02:52he looks the part too.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54But getting this far hasn't been easy.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Guy was born with no left hand.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01I've got a bone missing in it and I have got five fingers

0:03:01 > 0:03:06but some are really small and I've always felt special with it.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Not many people your age want to learn to play the bagpipes.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12What made you so interested in that instrument?

0:03:12 > 0:03:17My mum's Scottish so when we go up there we see my uncle, Neill,

0:03:17 > 0:03:18and he plays the bagpipes.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21So I've seen them before.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Ready?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Guy's mum reached out to the One-Handed Musical Instrument Trust.

0:03:25 > 0:03:31They found Duncan, a music teacher, who invented this -

0:03:31 > 0:03:34it's called the Pibroch, a digital chanter

0:03:34 > 0:03:36that's changed Guy's life.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39In each of the holes, you have a sensor that detects

0:03:39 > 0:03:42the finger positions so you can actually make the sound

0:03:42 > 0:03:44do whatever you like,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47so we came up with this new version of the fingering only using the top

0:03:47 > 0:03:51five holes to get all of the notes that you can play on a normal

0:03:51 > 0:03:53bagpipe chanter using just using one hand.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Very good.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's not that difficult and you can just learn the scales and once

0:03:57 > 0:04:01you've got the notes and the sound you can start learning songs.

0:04:01 > 0:04:08And it's not just the bagpipes - a whole range of instruments

0:04:08 > 0:04:13can be adapted and modified to help musicians

0:04:13 > 0:04:16with a physical disability express themselves musically.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18This here is called the Linstrument.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's a keypad connected up to a computer and it sounds

0:04:21 > 0:04:25just like a violin, a viola or a cello

0:04:25 > 0:04:31and you can play it single-handedly.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Now that Guy has learnt a tune or two, he's set another goal -

0:04:35 > 0:04:38to play the bagpipes at Edinburgh Castle.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40It would be so cool being in front of lots of people,

0:04:40 > 0:04:44being different to everyone else because everyone would have to blow.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46And I would have to blow as well but it would be

0:04:46 > 0:04:49much more different.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50And you know what?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm sure it is only a matter of time.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Well done!

0:04:53 > 0:04:54How good is he?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Brilliant!

0:04:57 > 0:04:58We're back in half an hour.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01See you then.
