The reason I wasn't at this satrday's PTH gig was because I was at the Rothbury Traditional Music Festival (in Northumberland) where I took part in the Lowland (Border) piping competition. (I promised Sue I would enter before she died). Bearing in mind that I have been playing Border pipes for 5 weeks I am happy to anounce that I came second! I was beaten by Mat Seatle a verteran piper and professional musician.

I'm realy quite pleased with myself!
