Thanks for the heads up. I doubt I can get there but have bought some raffle tickets to show willing.

Modern Hunting MacGregor if my phone's screen isn't letting me down. the one that the current clan chief made such a fuss about at one point though I believe he's relaxed his views since.

There is not only a story attached to that picture but also a dance created for it. Whilst the, I think, Emperor penguin looks fascinated by the sound of the piper, you'll notice that he's alone,...

It does all look very good, the only slight problem I have is with the sporran hanger things which just don't look right to me. I expect it's because they'd be very difficult, not to say...

Given that Seamus is the gaelic pronunciation of James and that Hamish is the anglicised version of the vocative (Sheamus) and that Jimmie is the shortened version of James, any dispute about which...

No Luck as yet in getting the 32some on public view! However here is a video on Youtube of the Whisky Dance that we did as a demo at our friends engagement party a few weeks ago. Great fun to dance!

Damn, sorry about that, I'll see if I can get a copy to put on my Photobucket page.

I finally got to dance a 32 some this weekend past at one of the colleges in Oxford. Something I've wanted to do for ages. There is a Facebook video here if you can access it?. Ye Gods, I've put on...

Mipi, if you're not too busy on the weekend of the 20th August, why not go up to Czech Highland games where you might meet up with pipers nearer you than most of us. Vaclav Rout, the organiser, is a...

As someone who has lived and worked in both Oxbridge towns for a large part of their life, may I reassure one and all that the stereotype portrayed above is almost non existent. Certainly with regard...

If you look closely, you'll see that they are not, in fact, scottish bagpipes at all as they're double chantered! i do wish people would get their facts straight.

Very briefly as I fly past:- thanks for the kind comments, I do, in fact, own a jabot and cuffs to go with the doublet but it was felt that they would make the outfit just a wee bit too formal which...

hi, Paul. May I sugest you go to http://www.bobdunsire.com and post your question on the forums there. As the world's principal piping site you'll get more useful help there than anywhere else,...

or try these practice pipes which you can play with a standard (small) practice chanter. :)

For those of you who may be in the area I'm piping at two Burns nights.
