These were the celebratory performances after the March off at Glasgow Green. Frankly, the sheer power of the Band slightly overwhelmed my audio gear, but hopefully it still captures the majesty of a great Band in full voice.

After a hot and sweaty couple of days at Glasgow Green, Richard Parkes and his phenomenal team carried off the World Title once again - making Richard Parkes the Pipe Major with the greatest number of World Titles under his belt. I have a lot of footage from the day and also the tunes that FM played at the end of their parade -but this will have to do you all for now! Thanks for following along with me at the Worlds this year - see you all in 2023!!

A long one today -with the first day of the World Championships and the Grade One initial session. Strong performances but a bit of a nightmare for Pipe Majors trying to keep the pipes under control in the heat. Clips of most of the performers are in the mix - all in the tuning areas as usual. I'll return for what will apparently be an even warmer day tomorrow - although that video will have to wait until I'm home again!

Sweltering in sub-tropical Glasgow, today was a day for The Green. I caught St Thomas Alumni, North Stratton, SFU, Fife Police and (much later) Scottish Power. I took a jaunt up to Kelvingrove around 4.30pm, but all the big Bands were away to deal with their sunburn at that point. Any chance we could call off the Worlds until normal weather returns? We're used to at least ONE day of rain!!! Thanks for watching one of my videos - if you like what you see, consider Liking the video and Subscribing to the Channel for more great content.

I located a couple of Grade One outfits today in Kelvingrove. The sun was out, along with Field Marshal and the 78th. There's a little LA Scots action there too, if you fancy it. The heat is surprising and the performances are matching that heat degree for degree.

Blistering Sunshine and great music - must be Scotland?

It's finally here! The return of the World Pipe Band Championships! I am in Glasgow and hoping to cover the event just like I have for the past few editions. So far, things seem quiet - perhaps due to the lower entry for the Contest. There wasn't much to see today as the temperatures started to rise. Two bands feature in this vlog - the City of Edinburgh and North West Junior Pipe Band from the USA. If anyone is aware of a Grade One Band practice in the central Glasgow area where I could record some footage, let me know in the comments....

This was the second place winning performance from Closkelt in their first time out as a fully fledged Grade One outfit - sadly I missed the very start of it - but something is better than nothing!

Richard Parkes again proving that he hasn't lost his touch in the LOOOOONG closed season since 2019.

Their first return to the grass since 2019 proved to the crowd that they had maintained their winning touch. This was a masterful performance - and with quite a few new faces in the ranks...
