Hey all…
I’m back to posting and updating the page. I’ve been on holiday for a week and was sick the whole time – Murphy had a really screwed up sense of humour.
I’ve added more tunes to the Tunes Page… just some interesting stuff I found in the repertoire of the band that I thought I’d share.
The South African Tattoo is in two or three weeks time. I’m really looking foward to it! It’s the first of (hopefully) many annual military performances at Monte Casino in Fourways, Johannesburg… and it’s looking to be a cracker! We’ve been hard at work learning the tunes, and it’s been really helpful in getting my personal repertoire back up to what it used to be. I’ll add the tunes that we’ll play as soon as I have them coded.
My pipes are pretty much fixed and I got them back last week, but only played them over the weekend due to my cold/flu thingy… they seem fine. I just have to play with the drones to make them as economical as possible.
Thanks for all the comments and support lately guys… I hope you’re getting as much out of this blog as I am.
ps. Well done to SFU for winning the World Champs two weeks ago. I heard that the Shotts pipers turned to face the crowd in their Medley performance… must have been quite a show!
