Update:
Piping Times Editor (and SPPB member) Robert Wallace says, "Just when we thought things were getting better.......Strathclyde Police pipe band is near breaking point. Something needs to be done soon or, take it from me, it is all over. Here's the latest: Serving members of the band would normally be on plain clothes duty for Saturday's Old Firm football match (Rangers/Celtic). This would have enabled them to play at Gourock on Sunday where they are entered for, of course, Grade 1. They have learned this week that they have been switched to uniformed night shift on Saturday night and won't therefore be able to play in the contest."
