Callum Beaumont fares best at Chatsworth

Bakewell, England – September 4, 2022 – The Chatsworth Country Fair got back to in-person competitions offering a total purse of £2,900, the event’s usual relatively good prize money for the senior solo piping events. Callum Beaumont of Dollar, Scotland, took the overall trophy, and prize money was awarded to seventh in each event.

As per the Solo Piping Judges’ Association and Competing Pipers Association recommendations designed to avoid potential conflict of interest perception, Colin MacLellan refrained from judging the light music events.
