Wallace Bagpipes News

The Kingdom Thistle Solo’s 2010 was once again a great success. Congratulations to Paul Brown for organizing such a well attending and supported event. Wallace Bagpipes was once again the main sponsor and you can read Paul’s letter of thanks below.

Kingdom Thistle 2010,

On behalf of the chairman and the organising committee of the Kingdom Thistle Piping and Drumming Organisation, we would once again like to say a big thank you to Craig Munro and Wallace Bagpipes for their continued support of the Solo Piping and Drumming Contest.

We have recently completed our 2^nd Annual Solo Piping and Drumming Championship in Lochgelly High School, Fife on the 17^th Of April. We had a total of 128 performances on the day, a slight decrease on last year but with no means a drop in the quality of the performances.

We will continue to build on the success of this year’s championship and indeed the previous, into the coming year as we organise for 2011.  We hope to be able to introduce something new, and hope that Wallace bagpipes will be there with us.

I would like to offer our thanks and congratulations to all competitors and prize winners, and hope to see them return next year.  I would also like to thank our adjudication panel for the day, Tom Brown, Brian Donaldson, Jim Baxter and Arthur Cook.

Congratulations to Steven Gorniak, Lucy Ferguson & Andrew Howe for winning their event and a £100.00 Wallace Bagpipes Voucher (pictures below).

Another congratulations to Grant Cassidy (House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead) for winning the Open Solo Drumming MSR. You can watch Grants performances below accompanied by Craig Munro.
