The year in news: pipes|drums ranks the top stories of 2010
# 8 – The highs and lows of Boghall & Bathgate: the “best band never to win a World’s” endured a topsy-turvy 2010. In May Boghall sadly lost stalwart snare drummer Neil Cranston to a sudden brain aneurism. The band then had its announced third-prize at the World’s revoked due to an administrative error, only to rise again to win the Cowal Championship. The band had another high with a successful concert in Aberdeen, only to mourn another loss when founding Pipe-Major Bob Martin died in October. Can you say resilient?
Great job in 2010. Keep up the good work!
Well done Andrew. Keep up the good work in 2011. Happy New Year to all at pipes/drums central.
Good job Andrew on bringing the pipe band world the most important stories to the forefront. I think you choice for #1 was spot on. What an achievement for such a talented young lady! 2011 should be a good one. I look forward to reading about it every step of the way right here on pipesdrums!
