A Local Band and Pipers

A few local musicians from the past and present...

The Greenock Scout Association’s Corlic Pipe Band, 1971. I heard them play several times that year. (They became The Greenock District Scout Pipe Band in 1972)

A pipe tune written for me, "Miss Jane Edney" (as I was then) in 1971. I heard the band play it a couple of times but don't have a recording, which is a pity.
