I would also like to know what kind of kilts they're wearing. They look like they're gathered in the back. Does anyone know what kind of kilts those are?

Dirka, as others have alluded to, it looks like they are wearing the great kilt, also known as a filleadh mor. What's unusual is that they are wearing them in a casual manner. Here's a description of what it takes to put one on:

It is Finlaggan (lord of the Isles) tartan according to Jamie the
lead singer.

Nelson, you are spot on.

For those that have been questioning where Jacquie and the boys will be playing this year, a tour schedule is posted HERE.

I have to intervene at this point and say that all these pipe bands that combine modern instruments all owe a debt to Gordon Duncan, in Fact I think Stuart Cassels from the RHCPipers was one of Gordons students, Gordon experimented with modern instruments on the 3 CDs he made and "just for Seamus" combines a piobaireachd tune with a dance beat, at the time Gordon was slated for the way he mixed traditional and modern and when he was pipe major of the Vale pipe band he played ground breaking tunes that are commonplace these days, whilst most of the pipers in the RHCPipers and Albannach and the tinkers johnny bagpipes etc are very very good, Id reccomend you listen to Gordon Duncan and he will put a whole new perspective on the instrument, he is regarded as one of the finest if not the finest piper that ever struck in a set of pipes, he playing is quite simply astonishing, yet he always found time to teach young people to play, and despite playing all over the world and inspiring so many pipers his job was emptying the bins in his home town of Pitlochry.
Tragically Gordon Duncan took his own life on the 14th December 2005

I wanted people to know about Gordon Duncan, and his incredible legacy, he was truly touched by the hand of god and Like Hendrix he went far to soon. Gordon and many other talented musicians never get the recognition they deserve because they refuse to "sell out" its a shame that pure talent and genius counts for very little these days, one only has to look at the music charts to see that, (excepting the Fron welsh choir of course).

Robertson yes-I guess X marks is an addiction. hope everyones well and Ill post from time to time!

aye its good tae be back.
