The pipe band competition at Portrush
The pipe band competition at Portrush is described by Gary McDonald as one of the best piping events in the calendar.
Richard Parkes notes that even the sun appearing through the clouds can make the sound of a set of bagpipes change.
The colours of a tartan are said to bond members of a pipe band together and highlight their shared motto βAll for one and one for allβ.
