Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band playing at the European Pipe Band Championship held at Stormont Estate, Belfast on 31 July 2010. The band is playing under Pipe Major Richard Parkes MBE.

Tunes played are:

00:00 March: Pipe Major Thomas MacAllister

In what must have been a very close competition at the top the band was placed second in the European Grade One Championship.

  • is this links of forth ??

  • @NZJcuzmw2 Hi there. Yes, I understand that PM Tom MacAllister is an extended version of The Links of Forth.

  • @dronechorus Yeah. "The Links of Forth" was originally just parts 1 through 4. After WWII the McAllisters found a tune manuscript for a four-parted march with no name on it. They say it was given to them "by the son of an old fiddler." J.K. McAllister said, "The melody haunted me," and on a train ride he composed four additional parts (5 through 8) and decided to call the tune after their father. Later they found out the tune already had a name. Most bands play parts 1 - 4 then 7 & 8.

  • @ChrisZ70 Very many thanks for filling in the detail on this one. Greatly appreciated.
