The winners of
Saturday’s BBC1 programme “When Will I Be Famous”, the Red Hot Chilli
Pipers played at a Massed Pipe Band event in Wick in
September.
The band was formed
just over four years ago after Stuart Cassels the 2005 BBC Young
Traditional Musician of the Year was asked to do something different at
the wedding of fellow band piper Kevin MacDonald. The other musicians in
the group are piper Willie Armstrong, drummers Steven Graham and Malcolm
McEwan. They were recently joined by guitarist Gregor James. They have
performed in Oman, China, Thailand and France. In January this year they
played at a Burns Supper organised by Ewan McGregor and attended by
celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney. |
