proud to be called Band Manager!

a drink with the world champions! why not?

So what is my page all about? Not a lot really, I just like hanging aboot with the band, a great laugh and I do like pipe bands! This past year 2008, yet again has been a good one for the band (both bands grades 2 and 4). With my own business of arranging tours, I will try my very best to get some new supporters and new people to see and chat to the band over the touring season, we will try and be at the same places as the band when competing, not only giving the band supporters but giving my tourists a great day out with the many bands who attend these competitions. My pal in Perth Davie Menzies has now been fully converted! He came with myself and the band to Northern Ireland and Cowal in 2008, he has the bug! So here's to 2009! The World Pipe Band Championships 8,000 pipes & drums, 200 bands, 1 world champion! In 2009 Glasgow will witness titanic battles between an international line-up of pipe bands challenging for the world championship. With Highland Dancing, Drum Major Competitions and European Highland Games, The Worlds is a day of vibrant colours, passionate music and intense competition. World Pipe Band Championships 2009 promises to be one of the biggest single events during the Homecoming Scotland 2009 festival with an estimated 50,000 in attendance. The World Pipe Band Championships starts on the 14th of August 2009 with the International Piping Concert.

Paul is the co owner of the tour company mcleanscotland, pictured here with the band. Paul goes to as many competitions and gigs as possible with the band, as his touring schedule allows, in fact it was Paul who got the bookings for Murrayfield and will be trying for more like this for the band.

Both Paul and the band are looking forward to a new sponsor for 2009 - more later when we can print it, Paul also runs the supporters club, it started out as a laugh with Kenny McLean in Rochester USA, now it is a fully blown supporters club, does any other band have one? don't think so. That's Paul on the far right.

C'mon the Denny!

With the Piping bands from Scotland and Piping Bands from the rest of the world taking part the concert promises to be a spectacular event. On the 15th of August 2009 the day after the piping concert will see over 200 piping bands compete for the
