Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band’s August 8th pre-Worlds performance was a roaring success, with only a handful of seats remaining in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. The band was able to use technology to tell the interesting history of the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band through video footage and photographs which were displayed overhead on a large screen. After a full night of piping and drumming and twenty-two sets of music, Pipe Major Richard Parkes MBE was treated to a surprise special presentation by Pipe Major Ian McLellan BEM, marking Richard’s 25 years as pipe major of FMMPB.
