New Audio files added and Media section changes

The Media section has been split into two categories Audio & Video.

These can now be accessed from the sub menu above under Media.

We have managed to edit the recordings we had of BBC interviews of Alex and the 214 band.

These are now available in the Audio section

We have added Audio files 5,6,7 &8.

The recordings really show how drumming styles and sound have moved on since the 60’s.

The great musical teachings we all received in the 214 is abundantly clear.

It is no wonder the 214 went on to produce some of the finest pipers and drummers the “Pipe World” has seen.

 

 

Joe Noble & Andy Hosie

Joe Noble has emailed me the following which I am sure will be of interest.

Hi Alan

You might wish to include this in the website. It’s a picture of Andy Hosie and myself, taken on 1st August at the celebrations for his and Mary’s 50th wedding anniversary. I had been Andy’s Best Man all those years ago.

For those who don’t know, Andy was a leading drummer of the 214BB band and went on to become leading drummer of the Renfrew Pipe Band, the drum corps of which he led to the British and World Grade 1 Drum Corps championships. I was very happy to be his Flank Drummer in both the 214BB and Renfrew bands.

(Alan – I’ve again given Andy all of the contact details for the ex-members group and hopefully this time he’ll join us).

Regards,

Joe

Thanks Joe and I’m sure if Andy can contact us with his current email address we can invite him along to the reunions and send him a Christmas card.
