Pipe Gig Overload

Bit of a dilemma here - Three potentials planned for the same weekend in 2011

The Celtic Festival of Wales (Cwlwm Celtaidd) or as it's properly known The Porthcawl Interceltic Festival is on from 4th - 6th March also the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra have invited us to play on the 5th March at the Sage in Gateshead and wait for it ......... Bailleul is on at the same time! Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

This is like going into that old fashioned sweet shop in Dunoon - too many to choose from but you can't have them all.

I gave it a good try though - How else do you think I maintain my physique?

Stanhope Show - the Gnome

Good turn out for the band on Sunday with 9 pipers and (errhmm) a smallish drum section. However 2 bass drums - so watch out Shotts and Dykehead!

Davey momentarily was the lonely side until Thomas late entrance - we know you were getting some extra chanter practice in!

As such the gnome award momentarily goes to Thomas Barnes (nearly awarded to Mick Barnes for needing a sub off his Dad!)

New gadget

If you have a look to the right we now have the ability to have stand alone pages - I'm going to add a guest book so that people can make comments about the band feel free to contribute

Stanhope Show

Just to remind everyone the band will be performing at The Stanhope Show this Sunday 12th Sept. Meeting up at 1.30pm for performance just after 2pm

For those who want to know where it's at - It's at the strangely named Unthank Park, just off the A689 between Stanhope and St John's Chapel.

Lets hope the weather holds out!

Now that's clever! - When I used to give me mate a croggy on my bike I used to ask him to sit behind me!
