In 2004 the group appeared on the main stage at T in the Park with the headline band, rock group The Darkness, and a track from the new Red Hot Chilli Pipers CD was recently played on Radio One. The band features Stuart Cassells, the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2005, a twice world champion snare drummer and with three of the band members being recent graduates from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the musicianship is first class. Stuart’s piping has featured on The Darkness album ‘One Way Ticket to Hell and Back’ and on the soundtrack to the film ‘Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire’. The group is in much demand performing all over the world from the USA to China at the biggest of events and festivals! Ewan McGregor recently booked the band for his Burns’ Supper in London and the band were delighted to have him join us for a few numbers on the snare drum!!! Putting a modern spin on incredible piping and astounding drumming with an emphasis on showing off and putting on a show guaranteed to amaze any audience; The Red Hot Chilli Pipers really are a genuinely unique experience. Their debut cd, “Bagrock to the Masses”, went on sale in stores and online Nov.15, 2007. http://www.redhotchillipipers.co.uk/spanHomespan/tabid/36/Default.aspx |
