Wilson wins third straight World Solo Drumming title

Glasgow – October 24, 2009 – Barry Wilson of the ScottishPower Pipe Band won his third World Solo Drumming Championship and third consecutive by gaining most aggregate points over a March, Strathspey & Reel and Hornpipe & Jig events.
 
Sixteen-time winner Jim Kilpatrick of House of Edgar-Shotts & Dykehead decided to withdraw after qualifying. He had to stop half-way through his MSR performance. Last week Kilpatrick’s father-in-law, Jim Cruickshank, died suddenly, and Kilpatrick had driven to Glasgow from Aberdeen after attending his funeral the day before.
 
“I got half way through my MSR and lost it,” Kilpatrick said. “I thought I was a bigger man than I was. It was all too much.”
