Pipers
SOLO PIPERS
Kitchen piping is a development in competitive piping in which the ability to entertain an audience, using a combination of creative flare and virtuoso technical ability, takes precedence over the more structured and formal requisites of the traditional competition format.
The Gathering, in collaboration with the National Piping Centre, are holding a Kitchen piping competition on the first day of this years event, to be held in Holyrood Park on Saturday 25th and 26th July. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in performing then now is the time to get in touch! Competitors will be competing for a chance to win a prize of £200 with all competitors receiving a special commemorative medal, and an appearance fee of £50.
For selection purposes prospective competitors are required to submit a short recording of their playing to be vetted by National Piping Centre Principal Roddy MacLeod. Recordings can be sent by email to jmulhearn@thepipingcentre.co.uk or by post to:-
