Had a phone call from Iain McKerral to tell me that Kintyre Schools Pipe Band won the award for Scottish Pipe Band of the Year at the Traditional Music Awards in Fort William last night. Well done Iain and all the tutors and young folk in the bands and many thanks to all who voted for them.

A fitting tribute for the pupils and all the support workers who put in so much time and effort.
Congratulations to all.

Well done everyone!
Thank goodness I voted! I hope everyone else on here did too!
So when is the next concert? Are they going to record an album?
Hell, where is Sir Paul McCartney when you need him?
Big congratulations!

Perhaps the Council will hod a civic reception for the young pipe band and everyone involved. Perhaps in the Vic?
Remember Oban Saints getting a civic reception when they won the SAFL Premier Division One and Craig Brown presented the award etc - never happened when the Pupils won the Permier however in 2000.

Congratulations to the band they have certainly done Kintyre proud again.
Unfortunately the Festival was not successful in the Best Event category, which was won by the World Pipe Band Championships
