Glasgow Skye Pipeband British PB Championships 2008

I responded as directed from the band! First Skeabost seems more likely for starters. That looks more MacDonald territory! I pass!

I am a MacLeod and have never heard of MacLeod of Skebost....I am pretty sure the tartan is MacLeod of Harris 'weathered'

[resto776]

is that the smith ancient tartan?

[TheScottishTattoo]

MacLeod of Skebost is the tartan - fitting for a band with Skye heritage.

About time this band was made G1!!!!

[Darrenritchie]

can anyone tell me the tune names and in order. I watched the warm up and performance at the british in birmingham and was blown away. Fantastic Band

[TheScottishTattoo]

Not me but I will email the band and ask them to input the detail.

Dont get me wrong they have a good sound and good luck to them.If their drum corps starts gettin in the top 6 they may even do some damage and for the record, i do play in the same grade and my band finished higher than GS..so there !

[queenie789]

They've had that drum corps for two or three months and they sound like that if they had been together longer htey would be looking at G1

[scottishbatman]

Heard that they got the 2 1st in piping but im not overly impressd by the medley i must say, few dodgy phrases from pipes (especially breaks 1st half), and medley is rip off from G1 best bit medleys of yrs gone by...could be more original.

[TheScottishTattoo]

A harsh judge!

Sounds good to me!

[queenie789]

not impressed?? were you listening with ear plugs in?? what band do you play for and where did the skye beat you? thers nae need to be bitter!

[gaelicpiper]

I was at the British Championships and one of the bands that alot of us neutral pipers went home raging about was Skye...their warm up was better than some of the other bands performances.They are also one of the best turned out bands I have seen in years and along with Buchan do not sem to get the credit they deserve...Grade 1 beckons for Skye methinks.

Well in, 2 firsts for piping! What a set.
