More than 400 come out to listen to piobaireachd recital
The British Columbia Pipers Association returned to action on September 3rd at ScotFestBC: the British Columbia Highland Games not with competitions, but a piobaireachd recital attended by more than 400 at LaFarge Lake Park in Coquitlam, British Columbia.
“Am Piobaire Ceithir” (“The Four Pipers”) was free to all and held at the amphitheatre at Town Centre Park on a warm and sunny evening.
It marked the second in-person piping and drumming event in British Columbia since the pandemic set in in March 2020 with the cancellation of the BCPA’s Annual Gathering, the first significant event in the world to be called off. At the time, most expected lockdowns to finish in a matter of weeks, and few if any thought it would last 18 months and more.
The BC Highland Games launched the Friday evening public piobaireachd competition at the same venue in 2018, attracting only a handful of curious music lovers.
