Thank you, Richard. After an exceedingly frustrating search I was able to find that they will be at Massey Hall in Toronto on Jan 31 @ 7 pm. I'm afraid I could not find a list of concert dates, but did finally find their appearance here.

Perhaps we can get together some of the rabble for a night on the town. It would be great to get back into that venerable concert hall. Anyone else from Ontario looking to attend?

You're welcome!

Perhaps we could get a few Orange County kilties to gather at a pub after the Cerritos concert

While we have not formally met, I saw you at the last Tour you alluded to in 2013. You were speaking to one of the Pipers just prior to myself. I am tentatively planning on being there for the Cerritos date. If there is a venue within reasonable distance I am interested for sure.

Cool!

I don't know the area- I'm down in Tustin- but Googling shows that around 4 miles away, in Los Alamitos, there's a place called Brew Kitchen Ale House, sort of a gastro-pub it seems.

Nine miles away there's Maggie's Pub in Santa Fe Springs. If it's the place I'm thinking of, it's been around a long time and I've been there a number of times over the years, playing there etc.

Closer back to my home, around ten miles from Cerritos, there's my usual stomping grounds The Old Ship (Fullerton) which is a true British Pub.

So far not much on Google about this tour. It seems to be lot's of old links and of course this thread. Apparently you have to look at the venue and not the band.

Years ago, while in college, I attended a performance by two British military bands. I wish I could remember which ones they were (it was almost 30 years ago). The first band to march into the gym, and play, was a marching band, from an English regiment. They were great to watch, all in step, with sharp uniforms, red coats, etc. But, for me, marching band music (horns, etc) is ho-hum. After they finished, in marched the Scottish pipe band (again, I don't remember which regiment they were from). But wow, their sound filled the gymnasium. There is nothing like it! My roommate and I stood up, waving my saltire and rampant lion flags (which I had bought in a souvenir shop in Glasgow). Makes your celtic blood stir within you, doesn't it?!

I'm looking forward to seeing them in Lansing, MI in January. Our dance group may also have the opportunity to perform in the lobby prior to the show as well (fingers crossed)
