Description
Pipe band music from a coimmunity band.
The Haddington Pipe Band under the direction of Pipe Major David Leckie is a community band from the East Lothian âmarket townâ of Haddington. The Band and Committe are highly regarded for their outstanding work within the Lothians and beyond and were recognised for this by being voted âPipe Band of The Yearâ at The Scots Trad Awards 2009. The Band is joined on some tracks by fellow East Lothian artists: Coreen Scott (singer); Caitlin Bruce (harp); Jimmy Wilson (accordion); and members of the Musselburgh and Fisherrow Trades Band. The album is named after the tune âThe Haddington Turnpikeâ composed by Dr. Bruce Thomson who won the Haddington Pipe Band competition to find an East Lothian âanthemâ in the year of Homecoming Scotland. The Band has strong links with Haddingtonâs twin town in France, Aubigny-sur-Nere. This album follows the Greentrax policy of supporting local artists and projects.
