Look guys - since I played at a 40th birthday in Lossiemouth, and after my pipes were left in the boot of the car and the OAT (that's Outside Air Temperature to you groundcrew types) went down to -25c , I have no useable pipes - just the chanter and some drones.
I am thinking about buying a new set from Edinburgh next month but they really are prohibitively costly (moderately good ones are circa £3k to £4k) but at the moment I am sans.
Boutros Boutros Ghalis son , hiding and lurking here as Judge Jeffries can organise some alternative entertainment ? How about the Mass bands of the Royal Marines as they are back from Afghanistan at the end of August and we could follow that with a 41 Gun Salute from 4 Regiment R.A. as they are looking for something to do after their third Afghanistan tour (I know the RSM so we might be able to cross their palms with a few [loadsof] drinks ). The Gun Salute might end up a bit screwed up though.
This may all change in the next week with Egypt and even Syria but otherwise the mass Band would be superb for after lunch.

ps - I know of no music for voice and bagpipe except stupid beatles music.
View this clip and see a masterly perfomance from my favourite singer (sadly, long since departed), singinging and playing the bagpipes.

The part you are interested in starts at around 1m 32s.
Rock on Fella's

REALITY CHECK UPDATE
Guys, I was not aware of Pete's kind offer of "his shout" when this all started.
There's been a bit of banter about numbers but joking aside, Pete and Di are guests in our country and there's no way that he should suffer the embarrassment of another humiliating cricket score and spring for lunch.
Dutch is the order of the Day.
There has been a table booked but it's limited in numbers because Pete, being a gentleman of consummate taste and style, is staying at a delightfully quaint typically English (except for the staff) "Boutique Hotel" which really means their restaurant only has 3 tables in total.
Pete & Di leave Australia this Saturday and we wish them a safe and pleasant trip back to "God's Country" and look forward to meeting them dans le flesh so to speak.
That is all.
