Anyone wishing to see a "follow on" performance from the 2010 Tattoo in Sydney, Australia can find it on MCV's web site (just google it). Some of the same stuff but some new selections as well.

Saw these guys live at Lexington this year, very good. They played clumsy lover and that was very good also

[waresthedoughnuts]

10trains. there your away again showing your great command of the language. happy new year.

[10trains]

up for a laugh, oh of course. sorry am just a thick iliterate northerner from england. nevermind. mind i dont spew rubbish and i have alot of mates from the 4 corners of the uk. i notice how it was 'ignorant englishman' and not just 'ignorant'. i am extremely proud to be english and believe and know we stand for the greater good. not like the image every other cunt in the world including some scottish want to make us out to be.

[MrJimmyboy1972]

10trains. for an englishman i see that you have a great command of the language. oh! and dont get so upset, the comments that i made were meant for thinking people that are up for a laugh, not people like you. as a matter of fact i was in the army, 9 yrs regular and 6yrs reserve, and i met a lot of great people during that time. my son in law is english and you couldnt meet a nicer guy. but, the rubbish that you are spewing is just what we scots expect from an ignorant (not all are) englishman.

[10trains]

i'm english and you're a right waffling cock. wat a load of bullshit. were you ever in the army? i doubt very much. well i was and lots of my mates were jocks, welsh and irish and didnt spout the shite you come out. cut the shite out trying to impress foreigners fuckin bellend

[MrJimmyboy1972]

mpw62. told you so! were everywhere. the skirl o' the pipes and a wee kilmarnock bunnet. in an army thats all you need to get you going. now! there is a song called "wi my wee kilmarnock bunnet" and harry lauder sung it. if you are ever in scotland at hogmannay this will be sung sporadically during the festivities. (they go on for quite a while, HIC!)

@MrJimmyboy1972 Oh and Thank SLANTJE as well!

Here we have it! I've found that the Continental Army's General Lachlan MacKintosh's Georgia Brigade of the Line was largely kilted, particularly the 2nd Georgia, and marched to pipes. Most of the N. Carolina troops at Cowpens and King Mountain were Scots, and their pipers acccompanied them. The blue Kilmarnock bonnet was as popular among American troops as the three-cornered hat at the Battle of Saratoga, almost the entire Northern Army wore it and the pipes were there as well.
