Performance for Arthur, Coppice Lea Care Home

One of the pipe bands founding fathers is now in a care home in Merstham - Coppice Lea Care Home www.ariacare.co.uk). We arranged to play a small concert for him and the other residents. 

Luckily it was not as hot as previous days, and also it waited to rain until after we had finished.

Karl, Jim, Iain, David and I turned up for 10am to tune up - as usual all the reeds were different and Jim had to tinker. Everything was coming together as we played.

• My land
• Highland Cathedral
• Scotland the Brave
• Amazing Grace
• I see Mull
• Skye Boat Song

Then into the home for tea and biscuits. Arthur seemed happy for the performance.

Swedish Tattoo, 6th (final) Practice

 The last practice session in the UK ... I wont miss driving around to Henlow.

All the time walking through and then playing through the arena show. Still a challenge to play and march for some tunes, but I can hide in the general noise.
