ScottishPower Pipe Band are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their partnership with ScottishPower.
Pipe Major Chris Armstrong commented: ‘This is an exciting year for the band celebrating 30th anniversary of our partnership and taking the stage for the Worlds concert in August.
‘Through the concert we are excited to bring new music and arrangements to our audience.
‘Being able to perform at the Worlds Week concert gives a real sense of drive to search for and learn music that we really enjoy playing and sharing outside of the competition circle.
‘We are working closely with folk group Rura, Finlay MacDonald and John Mulhearn with the intent that the concert will bring something inspiring and different.
‘The focus is on producing material which balances tradition with innovation and above all, brings a wide range of exciting music from our repertoire and further afield.’
