Piobaireachd Club

Due to his success at the BC Indoor, James P. was invited to play the Piobaireachd Club (supported by the BC Piper's Association) in Vancouver on April 25. This Club was founded in 1990 and founding members of the club were Peter Aumonier, Duncan Fraser, Jack Lee (he's in Wikipedia!), Ron MacLeod and Ron Sutherland. The purpose of this Club is "that players would be encouraged to relax and put a little of themselves into the music without, of course, offending teaching and traditions".
Jamie played 'Hector MacLean's Warning', his prize winning piobaireachd. Go to the following link for a bit of insight into the name behind the tune as well the synopsis of the entire evening:
