Bill is the long standing Pipe Major of the 78th Fraser Highlanders from Ontario, Canada. The first non-Scottish band ever to win the World Pipe Band Championships, they have travelled 16 times to the Worlds and made the top 6 on 12 ocassions, an outstanding record all under Bill's leadership. He has also won countless solo piping awards, notably both Gold Medals and the coveted Clasp at the Northern Meeting twice.

The evening will consist of two halves. The first will be an open forum of questions and answers. Those attending will be able to hear Bill talk about any topic they wish, as well as hear about his own background and journey to become the outstanding player he is today. Amongst suggested topics have been: How best to set up a band; What is the future of pipe bands; What is it like as a band and solo player from another country, to play in Scotland?

The second half will be a recital giving us a rare opportunity to hear one of the world's most successful pipers in the heart of this sprawling metropolis.

This promises to be a unique evening and a great way to warm-up to the Bratach Gorm. Any suggestions for further questions for Bill, email in advance to alasdairthepiper@hotmail.com
