Polkemmet Grorud Pipe Band at the World Pipe Band Championships, in Bellahouston Park, 15th August 1992. The tunes played are: Laggan Love, Mac An Irish, Video Man, Echo Chamber, Traditional Jig, Boys of Ballymoat, John Keith Lang.
@ChrisZ70 I have never hear such a lot of Winston Pollocks from one person in my life. (Sorry Winston -it's West Lothian Pipe Band Riming Slang). Me thinks you may be an under achieving over egotistic loser. Wake up and smell my drumsticks!
@okatoman You can't spell. You have the pig fingers, rent boy, because you cannot write a paragraph without fucking it up. "Gulliable"? The word is "gullible," and I don't know why you're fixated on that word, using it so inappropriately. -- Oh, I think I know why you use the word "gullible" to describe me: because I actually seriously respond to your posts, whereas you're used to defecating meaningless horseshit (with typos and spelling errors)and having no one pay attention to it.
QUICKMARCH: I don't care; go ahead and delete it. But you have not commented on my criticism at all. I made a serious musical critique - not just a "rant" as you called it - and all you come back with is "I was gonna delete your post but I'll leave it up there [to make you look bad]," as though I'm "obviously wrong." Instead of refuting what I'm saying, you just imply that I'm "obviously wrong." So delete my post, because you're obviously not interested in hearing an contrary opinion.
The most absurd strathspey selection to come out of "Laggan Love" - which is not a quick march, so how weren't they disqualified for that? Anyway, musically it would have been fine had they chosen a s'spey that was modally consistent with the tenor of the air they march on to. Instead, they follow a melancholy, wicked, moody piece with a gay, airy-fairy strathspey which has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO, thematically, with the march-on and spoils the mood established by the opener. Ridiculous.
This is the best band never to win the world championship. They were well robbed in 91'. This band made me start learning the pipes. All England champs 91' houghton le spring, they were amazing!!!

Do I see P/M Willie Murray (P/M of Fife Constab) at 0:45? He's the only piper fully visible that's facing the camera.
