Help! Anyone know a good Bagpipe Band??

We are trying to help Cowalfest finalise an additional 'ceilidh' style event for the Cowal Games. If anyone know of a band similar to Red Hot Chilli Pipers or TNT can they message me at the Cowal Open Studios email address - info@cowalopenstudios.co.uk

Any other suggestions gratefully received!!

The Pokey Hats AKA The Gutty Slippers might be what you are looking for. The band have been together over 10 years and you can see a video and book them here

OR
The Picts play ceilidh rock and can be booked direct
