Hi Iain, my English in Not so good. I saw you ( 1991-1993 ? ) on a concert with the Battlefield-Band at the FOLK-CLUB TAUNUSSTEIN Near Wiesbaden (Germany). At this time i began to play Bagpipes in my head. A few years later i had an easy kind of middleage bagpipes and learned to play it myself. Now ~25 years later i learnt to play a GHB from R T Shepherd myself and i visited one time a year for a long Weekend, where Pipe Major Tom Brown with his Brother Donald taught a Group of ~25 "Hobby"-Pipers . That's what i want to tell you. You are a very big point in my brain and life. Thank you. Have a nice time and be careful in this time. And all Greetings to your Famliy, ACHIM

Hi Achim, thanks for your message. I am happy to hear that you are now playing the pipes and that you are enjoying it. I always loved touring in Germany. My brother often goes to Germany to teach piping. Keep playing the music, it is good for the soul! Kind Regards, Iain.

Hi, how have U been???
Iain, I was killing time at work & found that U have a web site, HOW Kool is THAT!!! anyway I just wanted to tell U that, from the 1st time I saw U playing the pipes, w/ OSSIAN @ the Phila. Folk Fest & then when I found that U had left the group & joined BATTLEFIELD Band, for which I have most of their recordings, U have inspired me to learn to play the pipes. NOW, 25+ years later & finding an instructor I am now @ the beginning of playing my pipes. I must add that U made it look so EASY, boy how I was fooled.
I am wondering are U playing anywhere in Scotland this AUG. 22nd til Sept 6th, because my wife & I will be visiting UR Gr8 land then??? It would be an honor to see U & maybe tip a pint or 2.
Hope 2 C U then...
