The Somme And Shinty's Heroes
A spectacular commemorative event presented by Hugh Dan MacLennan.
The show pays tribute to the many pipers and shinty players who lost their lives in WWI including Pipe Major Willie Lawrie best known for the tune The Battle of the Somme.
The main performance features singer Linda MacLeod, and musicians Megan Henderson, Ewan Robertson, Duncan Lyall, James Mackintosh and Gary Innes himself.
Top piper Duncan MacGillivray of Calrossie, will play the Paterson pipes of Beauly which were returned from the Battle of Festubert and have since been played world-wide. The BBC’s Iain Anderson will also read specially chosen historical extracts along with Prof Ewen Cameron of Edinburgh University and Brigadier John MacFarlane of Taynuilt.
Also appearing will be a group young local musicians from the Fèis Fhoirth Ceilidh Trailers. They will welcome guests from 1830 and also play at the interval of the main performance.
