Dear Players,
Welcome to the Pipefest Japan.
On behalf of everyone involved thank you for visiting
the Pipefest website. In order to try to encourage as
many players as possible, I have kept the tune list
for this parade very simple. There will inevitably be
other opportunities for visiting groups of players to
perform at other events during the period, the Japanese
love their piping and you can be assured of a warm and
very respectful welcome wherever you perform.
In 2003 the Kirkwall City Pipe
Band from Orkney, Scotland, flew half way across the
World to perform at the Kansai Highland Games. I was
privileged to lead the band on that visit and can assure
you of the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Japanese
people throughout our visit. We played in Kobe, Hiroshima,
Shingu, and Osaka. We played at Highland Games, schools,
and at the Armistice ceremony. Everywhere we went resulted
in more invitations to play at more events!
Register your interest and it
will ensure that you are kept up-to-date with all developments.
Thank you again for looking at our website I hope to
see you, and your friends, in October 2008.
Yours Aye
David Miller
