RED HOT Press Release
Local Pipers and Drummers given Hot invitation!
The 47th Culter & District BB Pipe Band has received a surprise invitation from cult bagpipe group ‘The Red Hot Chilli Pipers’ (winners of Graham Norton’s ‘When will I be Famous?’) to attend and perform at the 12th Aviles Interceltic Festival 2008 in the region of Asturias, Northern Spain from July 18th – 27th inclusive, as this years delegation from Scotland.
With delegations from all the ‘Celtic Countries’- Ireland, Wales, Galicia and Brittany also there, this will be a great opportunity for us to promote Aberdeen and represent Scotland at a huge festival which attracts 100 000 people to the Spanish town. Our band will be made up of Culter & District members and also Novice Juvenile members, the youngest being 11.
Accompanying us will be a couple of young Highland Dancers who will hold a ‘dance workshop’ and also a Chef who will participate in some gastronomic days of the Celtic Countries.
The Lord Mayor of Aviles is hosting a reception for the delegations at the start of our trip and we would like to thank Lord Provost Stephen for giving us a gift to present to him. Also we would like to thank Belmar Engineering, Mortgages Made Easy (Scotland) Ltd., pte-Ltd, Tesco, Westhill, Aberdeen Taxi Centre and Aberdeen and Universal Inspection (UK) Ltd, for their generous donations towards the cost of our trip.
