A spokesperson said: “Pipe Major Gordon Walker is one not to be missed and I would like to stress that this is a ticket-only event, due to the numbers restriction at the venue.

“We would therefore encourage people who would like to see Gordon ‘live in recital’ to purchase their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

“This will be our third annual recital and one that we are very much looking forward to. Gordon is no stranger to these shores and has always put on an electric performance wherever he has played.”

The recital this year will be held on Saturday (November 15) again at Barban Hill.

“There will be no doubt,” the spokespeson said, “that Gordon will attract a big crowd given his status as a recorded piper on The World’s Greatest Pipers CD Series”.

Membership entitles memebers to free entry into all events organised by the society; they therefore will not need to purchase a ticket for themselves.
