COMPETITION DATES FOR 2008
PHOTO ALBUM
"Denny and Dunipace Pipe Band have
been a competing band for over 40 years. Based in
the two small towns in Central Scotland from which
the band takes its name, the organisation continues
to play and compete regularly around Scotland and
Ireland, whilst also promoting teaching of both
pipes drums to anyone who wishes to learn. With two
bands in the organisation, it is the senior band
that are playing today. This band is now competing
in Grade 2, having been promoted in 2006 following a
successful season that included World Championship
and Champion of Champion wins. The band is led by
Pipe-Major Mark Sutherland and Drum-Sergeant Stuart
Paterson, and wears the Princess Elizabeth tartan."

The Andy Grant
Column
Andy is the
Drum Major in Denny, shown on extreme left
here sharing a drink with fellow band
members in Pitlochry some while back. he
says he does not drink much, I would agree
with that, he spills most of it! When
we can, we hound him for stories of
competitions, days out and general chit chat
on the band, but as we say, he needs pushing
to get these done, he would say he is a very
busy man, we would say, "come on ol' duffer
get writing!"

PIPERS &
DRUMMERS
Words and pictures
of the pipers and drummers, it's hard to get
these shy people to say anything! What do
pipers think of drummers? and what do they
think of Pipers? Come to that, what do
the girls think of the boys and vice versa?
can this section ever be read? Is any of it
legal and ok enough to actually print?
Lets wait and see what is said and what
happens, if the band end up fighting, I will
say it was not my idea!

Band
OFFICIAL worldwide
supporters club
A supporters club for a pipe band? are
they mad? Well, just about as mad as
the band actually. The club was started by
Paul and Kenny McLean, Paul is a Scot from
Perth - well, living in Perth but not
from there, but that's another (long)
story. Kenny meanwhile is over the water,
living in USA with the Rochester gang ( the
rest of the McLean clan of NY State). So
why do it? We asked ourselves that also!
News and views plus photos and odds and sods
in this section.

Paul McLean's
Column
Paul is the
supporter club organiser and founder (along
with Ken) and writes on the competitions
also, in competition to Andy, he thinks his
is the better section, but then again so
does Andy think his is best! That is
Paul shown left. We have club members all around the
world from Scotland, England (aye even them
down there!) to Australia United States and Canada and
everywhere in between.
