What is the name for the first en last song?

[Fletch146]

Sorry, don't know. Try the band's web site and ask there.

Nice set selection. A few unsteady blowers on Highland Cthedral...Nice solo except last two noes. All round sound nice.  What pipes, chanters and reeds do they use?

[Fletch146]

Sorry I don't know the technical stuff, but I'm sure the band manager would be interested in answering your questions. They can be contacted via their web site. YouTube don't allow links here so see my reply below for the band's web address.

This is pretty awesome. I'm from Brechin and I'm amazed this is on you tube. Brechin is a little, backwater, hickville of a town. It's population is under 10 000 - I think.

[Fletch146]

There you are then. Your wee city has a pipe band.

[wgmandy1]

I used to play with them back in the nineties. I'm from Zimbabwe but lived in Montrose for eight and a half years. Had some good years with them. Keep up the good work. I was there when Abe Bailey was tutor and Alan Jack was Pipe major.
