The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland perform a brand new show at Edinburgh's recently refurbished Usher Hall entitled the 'Dragon's Lair'.
Dragon's Lair will mark the first time the band has performed in Edinburgh since its inception in 2002 and will round off a big year for the NYPBoS, which has play for HRH Prince Charles at the National Piping Centre as well as concerts across the globe from Skye to Germany. The band also teamed up with world famous piper, Carlos Nunez at the Chihuahua Festival in Mexico in 2007 and will again feature with him at Celtic Connections 2010.
Made up of the best young pipers and drummers from across Scotland, including 13 year-old Connor Sinclair (pictured), personal piper to both Sir Sean Connery and First Minister Alex Salmond, NYPBoS provides unique development opportunities for its young members who are aged from 10 to 25 and an exceptional musical experience for its audiences.
"The Dragon's Lair is a brand new concert for the band incorporating a fantastic blend of traditional and contemporary music," says Alisdair McLaren, Director of the NYPBoS.
"The fusion of pipes and drums with electric guitar, keyboard synthesizer, stand up bass, fiddle and drum kit pushes the boundaries of the stereotypical pipe band concert making the band possibly one of the most entertaining concert bands to see."
Tickets are priced from £10 from the Usher Hall
