Saturday July 12th sees New Zealand's top pipe band (as well as one of the leading band's in the world) Manawatu play exclusively in London at our monthly SPSL evening in the Mudlark.
At last year's World Pipe Band Championships they were placed 9th overall in Grade 1, but 7th place in the piping, (just behind the likes of Shotts, FMM and SFU).
Now we are privileged to have a pivotal section of their pipe corps, including their Pipe Major, Stewart McKenzie, provide us with an evening of rare entertainment of quartet and solo piping. This promises to be a first class evening and a not to be missed opportunity. I can't recall when a Grade 1 band last appeared in the capital.
In February this year Manawatu Scottish Pipe Band won the New Zealand Pipe Band Championships, convincingly restating their claim as an outstanding Grade 1 band. This was their 7th consecutive win in that competition. Anyone who has heard their much acclaimed album The Calling would agree with their creativity and talent as an outstanding outfit. Add some cold beer and the portents are good for a great evening.
Ticket prices £10 SPSL members £12.50 non members.
Upstairs at the Mudlark.
opposite Glaziers Hall
4 Montague Close
London SE1 9DA
Nearest Tube, London Bridge
Commences 7.30 p.m.
