Smallpipers wanted for Scots Day Out
Saturday 13 February
The Celtic Piping Club will be hosting a couple of short (30 mins or so) piping concerts at 'Celtic Corner' to showcase Scotland's 'other' bagpipes. If you're keen to play a few tunes, either solo or in a group, then we'd love to hear from you. Our times are 1.00pm and 2.30pm. As usual, where there are pipers, we'll organise a session too.
Scots Day Out is a free community event like no other Scottish celebration of culture and tradition in Australia and brings thousands of people to soak up the atmosphere.
If you're interested in joining in the fun of the day, please contact Geoff on 0419 567 038 or email@celticpipingclub.com.
