Glasgow gets ready for monthly SPA treatments

“With the many distractions of modern life, as well as pipers’ heavy commitments to solo and pipe band competitions, perhaps it is understandable . . . that a simple ‘club for piping’ seems old-hat,” Gibb continued. “The SPA has been kept going by a small group of dedicated members led by Jeannie Campbell in the last few years, and it is hoped this night will re-capture the spirit of the association for pipers today.”

The organization hopes that the June 15th event will kick-start a regular series of monthly meetings, and, if popular, biweekly club gatherings.

Gibb said that small competitions between members and short lectures are also planned “to build the club up to being one of the central pillars of the Glasgow piping scene again. Edinburgh has its Eagles, and it is about time Glasgow had somewhere for pipers to meet and listen to others amongst friends.”
