THE Lowland & Border Pipers’ Society is holding its annual conference in Perth tomorrow for the first time.
The conference – or “collogue” – will take place at the Fair City’s Royal George Hotel.
A concert follows the conference in the evening.
Performers at the evening concert will include: Brìghde Chaimbeul and Fin Moore; Pete Clark and Iain MacInnes; Kyle Howie; Finlay MacVicar; and the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band.
Stuart Letford, the society’s chairman, said: “This promises to be a superb occasion.
“We have a tremendous line up for the conference and the evening show.
“Tayside has long had a very strong piping tradition but it’s mostly in the area of pipe bands.
“As the Lowland & Border Pipers’ Society approaches its 40th anniversary, we wish to use this occasion to showcase to youngsters in particular the wonderful music of Scotland’s bellows-piping tradition.”
He added: “All are welcome to the conference and concert.
“I think this event will make a big impact on the traditional music scene of the area and will be remembered for years to come.”
