I really enjoyed the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green yesterday. Fortunately the weather held off and it didn’t turn into a Glasto mudbath. I spent most of the time at the Grade 1 Final Tuning Area, as the top bands pay attention to the detail that they hope will get them the ultimate prize in the pipe band world. I wish I knew more about the subtleties of what differentiates the bands.
The only bad news was that the Simon Fraser University PB from Vancouver wrested the title from Field Marshall Montgomery.
