Welcome to the 10th year of Piping Live!
Reaching this landmark year is a great
cause for celebration and a reason for
us all to enjoy a special Piping Live!

10th anniversary tune competition.
We have put together a fantastic programme and this
year’s festival is scheduled to attract 30,000 spectators
to more than 150 events across 7 days.
A huge thanks must go to our sponsors and funders without
whom Piping Live! would not be possible. All that remains
to say is that I look forward to seeing you all at this year’s

Piping Live!
10 years on...
Glasgow International Piping Festival began in 2004. The
week leading up to The World Pipe Band Championships,
Glasgow seemed to be abuzz with pipers, drummers and
people who love the music. The National Piping Centre
saw this as an opportunity to programme more events to
celebrate the music of the Great Highland Bagpipe, and
thus, Piping Live! was born.
Piping Hot! was the first Glasgow International Piping
Festival, in August 2004. This event brought together all
of the pipers and drummers who were in Glasgow for
the week leading up to the World Pipe Band
Championships, as well as bringing
acts from across the world to
showcase their own
piping culture. Featured
artists at Piping Hot
were Katherine Tickell,
Fred Morrison, Robbie
Hannan,
NYPBoS,
Christina Pato, Patrick
Molard and Finlay
MacDonald.
In 2005 Piping Live! was
formed
and
took
its
place on the international
festival calendar. With great
support
from
Glenfiddich,
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau,
Event Scotland, The Scottish Arts
council the festival went from strength to strength throughout
the next few years. Highlights of the festival in these early years
include an enormous selection of acts; bands including Red
Hot Chilli Pipers, Skerryvore, Capercaillie and Friends and
Breabach; world renowned pipers Willie McCallum, Jack Lee,
Stuart Liddell, Roddy MacLeod; Pipe Bands from across the
world from USA, Australia, India, Canada, New Zealand; and
hundreds more!
Since 2010 Piping Live! has been one of the biggest festivals
on Glasgow’s calendar drawing in thousands of visitors every
August. We would like to take this opportunity to thank every
one of our supporters and audience members for making
Piping Live! what it is today. Without your support and
attendance we would not be where we are and we are truly
grateful for that. We hope you enjoy Piping Live! 2013 and can
celebrate with us as we go into our 10th year. As you can see
from this programme we have hundreds of acts and events for
you to enjoy.
