Craig recently returned from a trip to South Africa with fellow piper Bradley Parker and Uddingston Pipe Band Leading Drummer, Craig Lawrie, to work with the JOCKS - Transvaal Scottish Pipes and Drums ahead of the Amanzimtoti South African Pipe Band Championships.
The band achieved 1st place in the MSR & Medley section with 1stโs across the board from all eight judges which is a testament to their hard work over the course of the week.
Craig done a recital on the Thursday night before the Championships as part of the Toti Live event alongside Bradley, Craig Lawrie, local piper Gordon Grossett and dancer Shendl Leahy to a packed and lively audience.
Thanks to Pipe Major Craig Whitley, Leading Drummer Dylan Chadwick and everyone involved with the Jocks for their hard work and hospitality.
Here is a clip of one of Craigโs sets from the recital.
Until next time, HEY YAKKITY!
Our first event of the year meant dusting off the pipes and getting the fingers going again so here is a clip of Craigs recital on Saturday night at the Crest of Gordon/Bagpipe Association of Germany e. V. Indoor Competition ๐ค
Another Happy Customer
Thanks to Daniel Pianto for the lovely words and video after he purchased a set of our Classic 4 Wallace Bagpipes from one of our Australian agents, Celtic Affairs. We wish Daniel all the very best with his new pipes and hopes he has as much fun playing them as we did making them โค๏ธ
โHi Craig, I recently received my set of WB Classic 4. What a fabulous, beautiful well made set of Pipes. Absolutely thrilled with them and so glad I purchased them. I purchased them from Annie Ramsay at Celtic Affairs who set them up beautifully, ready to play and did a marvellous job. Here they are straight out of the case. Pure class!โ
A good luck message from Danny and a wee tune on tonightโs raffle prize.
Good luck everyone ๐ค
