Another great, up and coming, Rothbury piper there. Our daughter went to school in Rothbury back in the sodding Thatcher years. She could have taken lessons from one of the great Northumbrian pipers and turned it down. I still can't believe it, at times! A truly wasted opportunity!
I can't beleive how good these kids are, Iain. I just hope they realise how important this is....
I missed Rothbury Festival this year - it rained too much and the car was poorly. We went last year and it was trememndous, we'll definitely be back next year.
Off to Whitby next week!
Watch out for the bats, JJ.
Thanks for sharing this Mike. It’s just great.
