Just a wee note to let you know that the pipe band world yesterday lost another drummer.
Stephen "Monkey" Monkhouse, who was a Drummer in the 1st Batt Scots Guards, was killed in action in Afghanistan by small arms fire, while trying to rescue a wounded colleague. This shows the other side of military Pipe Bands, soldiers first players second.
Those who do please leave a little space in your prayers for Monkey and his family, for the rest if you are in the beer tent at the weekend or at home raise a glass to a fellow pipe band guy and a decent bloke, who has given his all so that we can raise a glass in peace and security.
RIP Monkey catch you on the final counter march..
