Peoples Ford Boghall & Bathgate Caledonia Pipe Band, reigning World Champions, have launched a crowdfunding campaign for our pre-Worlds concert, ‘Cabar Feidh’, writes band Manager David Burnside.
The concert is on August 14, 2024, at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and is already sold out. The 60-day campaign target is £15,000 and the money will be used to fund the production and recording of a live album and video of the concert.
By contributing to our campaign, you’ll be helping us pay for high-quality recording equipment, professional mastering, a concert video and physical copies of the live album.
Some of the perks available to backers: digital album download, signed CD, vinyl copy, PDF downloads of concert music, signed drum sticks and scores from L/D Kerr McQuillan, plus a private lesson from Kerr, replica of P/M Ross Harvey’s pipes made by Broadleys Bagpipes.
P/M Harvey: ‘The support from our fans and the wider community is essential to making this concert and live album a success, and we are thrilled to offer these unique perks as a token of our appreciation.’
