I'll soon get the hang of this again - its been four or five years since I last played!
Looks like a day of fun up there on the streets of Hawick, Alex. We never have anything like that down here - trouble with living in the country I guess!
I was amused by seeing your bagpipe tutor. It is precisely the one that I have, and have had for thirty-odd years - it must be a classic. Of course, you have played before and so I guess you'll find it easy. Unfortunately, I could get nowhere with it at all, but then I cannot read music and never could, not even in my choir days or piano lesson days!! Good luck with it - you and Porrick will be able to give us piping duets at next year's Ferintosh Burns weekend(s)!!
[PS: The Hawick tartan is absolutely gorgeous ....... must make a note!]
