Happy Hallowe'en!

Although it's over....in the spirit of Hallowe'en, I've posted a picture of James W. in his last year's Hallowe'en costume which resulted in scaring the living daylights out of EVERYONE at the party.

Slowly ascending up the stairs playing Black Donald's March, this is what came out of the mist....

On a lighter note, another well known event was taking place on October 31, 2009: the Glenfiddich. With Stuart Liddell taking away the overall prize, JWT Reedmakers wants to give a round of applause to not only a loyal customer but a dear dear family friend, Bruce Gandy who came out second in the Piobaireachd and fourth overall! Congrats go out to Roddy, Willie, Gordon, Angus and James as well.

Full results can be found on the pipes|drums website.

This photo was taken a while ago on Bruce's visit out west to see his mother. Photos courtesy of Louise Troy.

Speaking of photos, you should have received your copy of Piping Today (the National Piping Centre's bi-monthly mag) by now. Jori Chisholm graces the cover supported by a wonderful article headlined 'A Thoughtful Approach' with all photo credit to Ryan MacDonald!

Taken at Gas Works Park in Seattle during the summer, Ryan posted one of the many photographs she took of Jori on Photographer Network - a blog where five photographers post weekly pictures. Ryan's photo of Jori spawned over 400 views. This was soon to be overtaken by over 700 views of Ms. MacDonald's session with James Laughlin....pretty impressive.
