Inveraray wins International Quartet Competition
Glasgow – August 9, 2011 – The foursome led by Alistair Henderson entered by Inveraray & District in the annual International Quartet Competition emerged the winner against seven other groups. Invereray was decided the best by a group on judges in the audience, whose identities were not known.
The contest was made up of an MSR and a Medley and took place at a very crowded Strathclyde Suite of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Only one prize is awarded.
Other quartets competing were from the 78th Fraser Highlanders, Lothian & Borders Police, Manawatu, ScottishPower, Spirit of Scotland, Strathclyde Police and St. Laurence O’Toole.
Sounds like Inveraray are definitely in the ascendency; however, it is also true that most bands — in just about any grade — can usually field a respectable quartet. It would be really great if the names of the pipers in the quartets could have been posted…
Spirit of Scotland”? Are you mistaken?”
