I missed last year's Highland Fling with the Ashbourne and District Pipe Band so this was the first time that I've been up close and personal to massed bagpipes – loud aren't they? We first met Jonathon one New Year's Eve at the Royal Oak Hotel in Cheadle but I didn't know that he also played the Irish uilleann pipes. We'll have to arrange a bit of a session next time.
If you would like to know more about the ADPB or fancy learning to play Scottish or Irish pipes you can find out more here.
Not as many pictures of dancers as usual – something to do with Emma not being able to play drums and take photos at the same time. What is the point of all those paradiddles?
