  1. Should be a very interesting season in the U.K.. The Power and Boggies are on the rise…and how ’bout those ‘kids’ from Inveraray! Well done!

  2. Excellent competiton and well done al the L&C folk for organising it. The sound was amazing in the hall and some great tunes. Good luck to all the bands for 2011. BobBrodie – Lomond & Clyde were recording the event and the tunes will be available for download from their website around the 24th March I think.

  3. The best band won. The Power’s piping was immaculate! Another good competition with some very good bands. Well done to all at Lomond & Clyde.
