'Kippers & Beer'
South African Irish Regiment 
Pipes & Drums

 

The Pipe Major always said:
"You will never beat a band at Grade One level
when it is playing its own compositions."

The S.A. Irish were pioneers in this type of performance as far back as 1984. Under the leadership of Pipe Major Chris Mulinder, the band assembled these historic recordings as a run-up to the Royal Scottish Gathering, with the aim of releasing an 'LP' of the music that same year. In true Irish fashion, here is the finished production - better late than never!

(The title of the CD is however another story...)
