With local musician Rob Nicholson

Many of the musicians wore these baseball caps with saltire motif, as seen on this young accordionist.

Young local drummers.

Pipes and Drums. The kilts in the foreground are Hawick tartan.

More traditional fare for this annual event - jazz musicians at the Trinity Gardens bandstand.

I had been asked by the organisers to participate by doing a half hour or so of piping at the event and had to tell them that I don't currently have bagpipes. However I made my first tentative steps back into piping by purchasing a practice chanter and Logan's pipe tutor from the local music shop.

I'll soon get the hang of this again - its been four or five years since I last played!
