Great Davie

[Ship called Dignity]

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!

[Ship called Dignity]

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..

[Ship called Dignity]

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

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

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.

Your time and hard work is very much aprieciated.

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

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.
