    Great playing but what about the fashion? ;-)

    when the the first two pipers (Jack Lee and Stuart Liddell) came on with Claret and purple hose I thought we might be in for an interesting day style wise. I'm not sure what I think about Ian Spiers black shirt, but it was a sharp look and his playing was great. Definitely deserved the overall award.

    Wonderful how technology allows us to 'be there' even when we are hundreds/thousands of Miles away.

    Such a clear feed it was amazing.
    Just as much as watching the Worlds is.

    Now if only the Cowal Highland Dancing Championships could get up to speed with these guys, the feed they send out is absolutely horrific. I swear they use archaic equipment. lol

    Wonderful playing by all of them today. I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this morning to listen, since it was a damp, cold, raining day here.

    There is also a fiddling competition on Sunday as well as a junior piping competition .....it's a shame those aren't streamed as well.

    This photo was posted just today, but I don't know if it was taken today, yesterday, or in a previous year. It shows rather restrained and somber dress. (Gordon Walker stands out as usual; note the green jacket and red ghillies laces.)

    I believe it was Gordon Walker I saw at the Center in August wearing gray laces. Where can I get colored laces for my ghillies?

    Virtually anyplace that sells long, coloured shoe laces. There have been many threads started on the forum in regards to scarlet coloured laces for ghillie brogues.

    Isn't that Murray Henderson in the photo? He wasn't there this year. He was actually in his shop working on my new drone reeds, bless his heart.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
