Livingston, Scotland – November 8, 2014 – Steven McWhirter of Inveraray & District and Jim Kilpatrick of Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia were the winners of the MSR and Freestyle events, respectively, at the first LIVI INNvitational Freestyle Solo Drumming Competition held at a packed Livingston Inn in Livingston, Scotland. Chris Armstrong of ScottishPower was awarded the MSR piping prize. The Freestyle contest was judged by the audience.

The event was organised by RSPBA adjudicator Jim Baxter, with proceeds going to Enable, a charity for those with learning disabilities and other special needs.

The day culminated with a performance of the famous Alex Duthart fanfare by all of the invited drummers, with Inveraray & District Pipe-Major Stuart Liddell joining on snare.
