Great news for the Pipe band and the whole area as The Mull of Kintyre Music Festival has also been nominated in the Best Event category.

So don’t forget to vote for both when filling in the form.

it says you can vote online but i've just looked and can't find a link to allow this?

would it be the entire kintyre schools pb or the individual bands, since both deserve to win, the nov. juv. for their second consecutive world title and the nov. as they got robbed all year by biased judging, i hope the nov. juv. win but i'd also like to see the big band get some recognition for the amazing displays i witnessed at pitlochry and glasgow green, where on the day the outplayed even the grade 1 bands and still never won.

wheres iain and johns names in the hall of fame?
