Couple of new letters today. The first is from J David Hester about the excellent PP results service and the second from Patrick de Renéville about Nick the Breton. Read them here.
Still in Brittany, correspondent Patrick Molard has sent the interesting picture up top. Patrick writes: ‘Hi Rab, I was reading your article about Nick Hudson playing with the Bagad Briec and you were asking the question: is it the first time a US piper appears in bagad uniform? Well I don’t know about the US, but in Scotland I know at least one person, Dr Andy Hunter, who has played in a bagad wearing the Breton costume as you can see on this picture taken in 1965. Andy is the first on the left and the name of the group is Bagad Richemont from Vannes.’
