Tremendous Response to Piping Centre’s Second Online CLASP Contest

We had a great response to our second remote CLASP Competition since lock down. The ‘live’ audio recordings were gathered by CLASP stewards on Saturday and the judges spent Sunday judging and writing up digital crit sheets for the competitors.

The next remote CLASP competition will take place on Saturday 8th August and replaces the annual ‘World Solo Amateur Piping Competition’ at Piping Live! Pictured below are Stuart Robinson, Grade 1 Overall Winner in action yesterday, Giovanni Giulianini (Grade 2 overall winner warming up on his practice chanter), and Robert Cunningham in action yesterday and on his way to winning the Grade 3 overall.
