The Kintyre Forum

Managed to nip over to the Vic last night for a wee bit to get some photos.

Here are a couple - will post more tonight!

Superb, that is all I can say!!

Great Davie

Can't quite remember how add a video

Anyone help with this - I seem to have forgot how to add a video!

I have changed cameras since I add ones months ago - they appear to be .avi files but this is a movie file

Doh!

I have added a handful of images at

http://www.campbeltown.info/pipes/march2006/index.htm

The quality of the images are not as good as the originals as they were reduced significantly to post on the site - so if any parent etc wants a copy of the disk give me a shout. The likes of the image below can be blown up to 3264 x 2448!

I have added some comments as I know best but please correct me if I am wrong or you have more detail.

I only managed to see part of the concert last night but from what I saw - all I can say was it was excellent. The array of talent in this band is quite amazing for the size of Kintyre.

As mentioned before I have a few videos which just capture a small glance of the night.

Here is the link to one but it is 20MB so you will have to wait a bit - I will try and suss out how to change these to avi files.

I need to suss this again - no sound etc!

BTW - Is that the correct name and spelling I have for the young drummer from Ireland? She was quite amazing to say the least! In fact here is the link if you are patient to see for yourself - quite something else!

It looks like you are getting pretty fancy with the camera work, peh! Good job..

Sussed this out - all images and clips can be found at

Just click on the links at the top - the videos will take a bit of time to download so please be patient! Right click on the image and click play if you wish to see again!

Aye Bobbie - getting there - so many buttons on the damm thing I don't know what to do half the time!

Now that totally side tracked me - back to work on the new vk site!

The photos are great.

And the videos are a lovely wee tonic on a miserable Sunday night. I always look forward to seeing the Pipe Band when in Campbeltown.

As for the young drummer! Wow!

Thanks Davie for taking the time to photograph , video and download all the material to the Forum.
It is a ''Tonic For The Troops'' on a cold , snowy winters evening in Derbyshire.
Any idea who set up the lighting?Wouldn't have been W. D. would it?
Your time and hard work is very much aprieciated.
Cheers

No probs Frosty - I always enjoy the KSPB concerts.

A good few of our local Tartan Army club are involved - young and old!

And I recognise a few faces too.

Sorry Frosty - I meant to say yes it was WD.

He is excellent at it!

Anyway, time for ma scratcher - day off la morrow so yippee!

Edited one of the comments on the KSPB page which should have said, of course, Alexander Stevenson is the lead drummer! Sorry about that

Wonderful pictures, Davie! I am really impressed with the young people of the area and all of the intructors and adult support that the youth have to help them succeed.
