denny and dunipace pipe band scotland

SOME PIPE BANDS who have travelled with MCLEANSCOTLAND including those we have arranged either accommodation and/or transport.

Of course we must start with the Denny & Dunipace, here in Scotland (left). We have taken care of their coaches and accommodations (Ireland) for years.

MCLEANSCOTLAND with a long association with pipe bands; we were the ONLY agent appointed to look after the bands for 2005 Pipefest in Edinburgh.

Mesa; great friends of ours from USA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6aRYUhTjZM  MCPB has grown since it's small beginnings in 1980. Having started with four musicians, our organization has grown to boast thirty performers and twenty-five students. We have excelled in the contest circle winning regional championships and placing internationally! The band performs about fifty times per year throughout Arizona and the Desert Southwest and impacts approximately 2,500,000 people annually! This makes us one of the most viewed arts organizations in the state of Arizona. However, we cannot take all the credit! It's our audience and supporters, people like yourself that have made our success attainable.  "Our coach hirer for the band's trips to Scotland! Wonderful service and friends of the band" MCPB

THE ATHOLL HIGHLANDERS FROM USA http://usahpd.com The band (left) came over and took part in the incredible Pipefest event in Edinburgh, August 2005, they were great fun. These photographs and movies were taken at Edinburgh, by Pamela Kohler-Camp. The Atholl Highlanders ( USA ) sent a small contingent to take part in the largest pipe band ever! Over 8,500 pipers and drummers. Other estimates had it as over 10,500. All to raise over £500,000 for the Marie Curie Cancer Care Foundation. Thanks to those at Saint Matthews Episcopal Church of Snellville who donated to Marie Curie.

Hi Liz and Hi Paul,  The City of Rochester Pipe Band have just returned from Edinburgh (2005) and we would like to thank you for the efforts put in by yourselves and your team in arranging the accommodation for the band. With such a big group and the costs involved the accommodation was our biggest headache. We had older people and children as well as the usual gang of miscreants that made up the playing members. The accommodation suited us apart from trying to get some stiff old joints into the top bunks ( and out again! ).  It was a convenient location if a little way off any food outlets but worth the hostel bus and our own coach we managed very well. The whole Pipefest was an event worth being at and we all enjoyed the whole weekend. Thanks again and I'll be keeping your details on file for our next expedition into Scotland Well done   Cheers    Alex Burt - Secretary   www.corpb.co.uk
