Pipe bands commended on British Championship successe
CONGRATULATIONS have been extended by UUP MLA Robin Swann to the local bands and drum majors who participated in the British Pipe Band Championships in Annan, Scotland last weekend.
He said: “Northern Ireland has a long and proud tradition in this field, consistently producing excellent pipe bands and this year proved to be no exception.
“The highlights included the Field Marshall Montgomery winning a 50th major title in grade one with the PSNI, Ballybriest and Tullylagan also winning in their respective classes. Local Drum Majors also enjoyed success.
“This is the result of a great deal of hard work and dedication throughout the year and I commend all the bands and drum majors who participated and wish them every success in the future.”
