With the kind permission of Roddy MacLeod and Alex Gandy, the Captain's Corner will be featuring their concert in Victoria, BC on Monday, April 17, 2006

Sorry, but the BBC has not given me copyright permission to use their material. They are totally within their rights as every performer is paid for their recording. Thus, I will not be able to post Bruce Gandy at the 2005 Glenfiddich Championship playing what could have possibly been the prize winning piobaireachd, "MacCrimmon's Sweetheart". But, for educational purposes, I have Bruce's permission to use his tune. So contact me privately about MacCrimmon's Sweetheart.

In the meantime, let's have a listen to Bruce in recital at St. Andrew's College, Aurora, Ontario in 2002.

This recording is a cut from the 2003 CD, MasterPipers produced by Jim McGillivray and Rob Crabtree. The engineers were Doug Stronach and Andrew Lawson. If you would like to purchase the CD, please click on:

Congratulations to Andrew Bonar, a 25 year member of SFU, on his recent win in the Annual BC Pipers Knockout contest, held March 12, 2006 in Vancouver. Hear his 10 minute selection in two parts - Part A and Part B . The original file being so large, I edited it into two separate halves for easier downloading.
