Kay and Liam open up about their own experiences in piping and what the piping life truly means to them.
So in the news recently, there's been the last couple of closing competitions for the year.
I went along to Cowell with the Cocodian District Pipe Band, shot a few videos and some photos and stuff for them.
And yeah, if you go on to the YouTube channel, you can see a couple of those videos.
I also got some videos and stuff for behind the scenes for the band and for Pipe Major, just so you can listen to the band and see where it needs improved and stuff.
But yeah, I will say the results were pretty one-sided and one band's favour, and that band was Cobarkin.
Yeah, Cobarkin had some really good runs.
So for those who don't already know, I probably mentioned it in previous episodes, I originally started my piping career with Cobarkin Pipe Band.
They're a great group of guys and girls.
And so Kowarkin won the grade two MSR.
They also came second in the grade three medley.
They also came first in the grade three MSR, second in the grade four B.
And also they got best senior band on parade.
done pretty fucking good yeah so the ones they came second and so in the open they got third first place in the open was Govan and then grade 3 Medley was Govan grade 4 B was Dunan

Yeah.
Honestly, I ran.
I sprinted to try and catch Cobark and go in to play the medley.
Not of me running, no, you cheeky bastard.
If you've never been to the Cowell Highland Gathering before, the tuning circle where I was doing the most of the filming and taking photos and stuff, is like half a mile, quarter of a mile away from the actual circle.
But in order to get to the circle, unless you're going straight across the field, you have to walk round an entire horse track to get to it.
