  • Favourite Band

    Favourite band is still 'The Vale' as an organisation but to listen to... not sure I have one.

  • Favourite Tunes

    Anything The Vale played. It was just a pleasure to play the concert material of Ian and Gordon Duncan and Andy Renwick.

  • Favourite Contest

    Bathgate competitions (because I can get a taxi home)... or Princess street gardens.

  • Most Admired

    Privileged to know, play and be in the company of Gordon Duncan. A genius!

  • Best Moment

    Getting on stage with Bagad Kemper and Carlos Nunez to play the finale of their concert... shouldn't have been there but you do these things when you've had a few shandies! Being pipe major of Torphichen novice B.

  • Future Goals

    Helping SFRS progress.
