Just hours away from their huge competition performance on Glasgow Green as part of the World Pipe Band Championships 2024, TRADtv caught up with Pipe Major Iain Donaldson and Lead Drummer Eric MacNeill of the City of Dunedin Pipe Band in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park about their rigorous preparations and long journey to reach this, the highest level of pipe band competition in the world.
In August each year, thousands of people travel from all over the globe to Glasgow, Scotland for this esteemed event which features the world’s very best bagpipe bands performing in competition. TRADtv (alongside our parent company, Inner Ear) had the pleasure of providing live coverage on Day One of the competition and speaking to participants in the lead up to the massive event.
