The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland is performing a brand new show in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall this month.
Entitled Dragon’s Lair, the new show features music from some of Scotland’s most talented musicians, in the band’s signature style.
This is the first time they have performed in Edinburgh since 2002 so it’s a real treat for fans of their music, who travel far and wide to see them.
The talented band is made up of young pipers and drummers aged from 10 to 25 from across the country, including 13 year-old Connor Sinclair, who is the personal piper to both Sir Sean Connery and First Minister Alex Salmond!
They’ll be performing at the Usher Hall on Saturday, November 28, in a concert that will round off a spectacular year for the NYPBoS, which has seen them play for HRH Prince Charles at the National Piping Centre as well as concerts across the globe from Skye to Germany.
Alisdair McLaren, Director of the NYPBoS said: "This concert will showcase the phenomenal talent of some of Scotland's most exciting young performers. The Dragon's Lair is a brand new concert for the band incorporating a fantastic blend of traditional and contemporary music.
“The fusion of pipes and drums with electric guitar, keyboard synthesizer, stand up bass, fiddle and drum kit pushes the boundaries of the stereotypical pipe band concert making the band possibly one of the most entertaining concert bands to see”.
Tickets, priced from £10 are on sale now and are available from www.usherhall.co.uk on 0131 228 1153, or in person from the Usher Hall box office on Lothian Road.
