Piping Live!

A highlight of the last few weeks was taking part in the publicity launch for the Piping Live Festival which takes place over the week leading up to the world championships. With faces completely painted as the flags of nations competing in the worlds, 12 pipers and drummers residing in Glasgow were called upon to be the ‘faces’ of Piping Live!

(More photos on my Facebook or at the Jumping Project group.)

I was lucky enough to get the New Zealand flag and fellow ex-Wapoler, Alisdair McLaren was painted as the token Australian. Being the furthest from home, Alisdair and I were asked to do a number of interviews with the BBC and other Glasgow radio stations.

After about an hour of constant photos from different media organisations, we were treated with group shots in a number of papers and on quite a few news websites. We even managed to get a group jumping shot in OK! Magazine!

Thanks to Helen from The Piping Centre for asking me along for the fun and for taking some great photos for me!
