FMM piper Ashley McMichael (above) carried on his good form from the Northern Meeting at Inverness (1st B grade MSR) by winning the MSR and Piobaireachd runner-up titles at the All-Ireland Solos. Contest co-ordinator Mervyn Herron reports: ‘The 2014 All Ireland Solos were staged yesterday [Sept 20] in Monkstown Community School with a large crowd in attendance to listen to all the various grades. It started at 10 am and carried on until 5 45pm a little later than usual because of the high number of piobaireachd players. It was a successful event for the joint promoters the IPBA and the RSPBA.’https://ppresshop.myshopify.com/products/pipe-band-magazine
