I am going on holiday next year to Australia. I will, be taking the pipes with me as I am going to go and do some practising
with North Metro Pipe Band who are a Grade 4 competition band. It will be interesting to see how the practising differs from the City of Rochester Pipe Band. I first started to learn the pipes with a Grade 4 competition pipe band namely Dartford and District Pipe band before they disbanded in 2006/2007 being taught by Rob Hill who in my opinion is a great teacher. I managed to talk him into coming to the City of Rochester Pipe Band to teach our own learners, a task which he has superbly taken on. I am awaiting some music from North Metro to start learning for when I go to Oz, looking forward to the new challenge.
