The Glenfiddich Championship is revered by pipers and spectators not only for its venue but also for treating the competitors like the elite musicians they are. One aspect of it is not rushing the competitors on stage but giving them the time they need to get ready. John is tasked with introducing the piper exactly as long as this takes. Not more, not less...
Lovely drone sound. Very strong and bright. Anyone know what make of drones he’s playing?
He's covering all of the bases.

It is English. And a refreshing change from American.
Every piper needs the skill to ignore the man introducing you who prefers the sound of his own voice to that of the pipes.

Yes, John has a lot to say, that’s because he’s forgotten more about piping that you’ll ever know!
