Ever wanted to learn Scottish dancing but don't know where to go to learn, or maybe there are no dance centres near where you live that offer ceilidh lessons? With the arrival of the modern age with discos and more nightlife than anyone can manage traditional dances which were once held every Friday and Saturday night across Scotland have become sparse especially in the towns and cities.

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers
The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are affectionately referred to in Scotland as the next Jock and Roll; an accolade realised after the band shot to international fame after appearing on television performing their very own brand of traditional but contemporary (if you will allows us that paradox) Scottish music. The band are a troupe of established and highly regarded musicians who have taken a traditional Scottish instrument, the Bagpipes, not usually associated with popular music and given classic rock and pop songs a whole new flavour. This has opened the doors of Pop music to those who's taste lay in the traditional pipes and their classic songs; but now the hardened traditionalist can he seen toe tapping to Smoke on the Water and Coldplay songs as well as Flower of Scotland!
The band has many celebrity endorsers including Ewan McGregor, Max Clifford and Dave Spikey. The Band also played on the Darkness single One Way Ticket To Hell and Back and they also featured on the Soundtrack of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The players are:
Bagpipes; Stuart Cassells, Willie Armstrong and Kevin MacDonald
Guitar; Gregor James
Snare Drum; Steven Graham
Percussion; Malcom McEwan
Drum Kit; Steven Black
Keyboards; Chris Russell
Here at Concorde Music we stock CD's and DVD's of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers music, the best sellers currently are the self titled debut and the Bagrock to the Masses hit record which has featured in the indie chart and has tracks regularly featured on BBC radio.
