    Richard, it would be interesting to see the trend over the last twenty years or so (not that I'm suggesting you do the same analysis for twenty years!).
    Our band is never going to the Worlds. We have our own tartan designed for the band, but the rest of our kit is pretty much standard.

    I've always admired this tartan, not only for its beauty, but for the history behind it, ever since I first saw it on the cover of Maggie Craig's Damned Rebel Bitches: The Women of the '45.

    Great!! is Jim Maxwell still in the band? He and I started piping around the same time and both took lessons from Steve Kelly. I take lessons from Jamie now once a week on Skype. I also bought my pipes from Mr. Troy sr.
