@Bomberpiper The opening tune is the 3/4 march Kilworth Hills by George S McLennan. Pipe Major McLennan lived from 1884 to 1929 and, as a player and composer, can be regarded as one of the greats of the piping world.
@McAndy89 From 1:30 the set is as follows: Highland Lassie Going to the Fair Merrily Danced the Quakers Wife The Bungee Jumper Ananda Na Gael Blackley of Hillsdale Devil in the Kitchen (Strathspey) Devil in the Kitchen (Reel) Mr & Mrs Duncan's Golden Wedding Anniversary
I mentioned the rolled up sleeves on another clip from the same event. Not just letting the band down but the Regiment also. Does not look good in a civy band either no matter how well they play.

@Bomberpiper The slow air is Ananda Na Gael
It's weird seeing how young the current drum major is.. 0:36
@dronechorus No problem. Thanks for the great uploads
Always look smart.
I think the pipe sergeant also gets a blue bag cover
@McAndy89 No problem
They are wearing the No1 dress commonly known within the regiment as "Blues"
rolling the sleeves on his No 1 jacket?
Does anybody know this beautiful air and can tell me the name?
I'd sooner listen to good Army band over a top civvy band anyday...the pitch is just right for my taste...birls strong and crisp...well done lads..
Same.
😂😂
Why was the Drum Corps not in Kilts?
donny barnett they never are, only the pipers are
These are not Ghillies brogues but buckled brogues, British Army Issue. There is a Pakistani version on e bay but NOT the same quality
Who is the pipe major 💂🏴
Iain lowther
The doublet looks like a Blue Patrol jacket

RidseardMhicCoinnich rab did that because he was the lead tip, and it’s hard to play with sleeves like that
Only the PM wears a blue bag cover....
