Ali and the rest of Grouse Ceilidh Band are excited to have been asked to play at the Scots Fiddle Festival's Ceilidh on Friday, November 20 and, by playing at the Ceilidh, they will be helping to raise money for Barnardo's.

In addition at 12:30pm on Sunday, November 22,  Mairi Thérèse Gilfedder, Grouse Ceilidh Band's Fiddler, will be presenting a talk at the Festival on, "Mediating Between the Past and Present Changing Faces of the West Coast Fiddle Tradition in Scotland".

From South Uist, Mairi Thérèse was surrounded by traditional music from a young age. Her talk is based on stylistic aspects of the West Coast fiddle tradition and the changes that have taken place in recent years, drawing from correspondence with Angus Grant as well as the experience of a younger generation of fiddle players.

Wedding in Portugal

li Turner Piper playing at Sao Roque Church in Lisbon

I was up early again on Saturday, September 5 to fly from Madrid in Spain to Lisbon in Portugal for I was to be the Wedding Bagpiper for Ingrid and Paolo who were getting married in Sao Roque Church in Lisbon with the reception at The Oitavos Hotel in Cascais.

My fist duty as Ingrid and Paolo's Wedding Piper was to pipe their guests into the church.  This picture was taken by the Wedding Organisers, Something Borrowed, for I ended up not only welcoming the guests to the church but also playing to about 100 people in Lisbon who had heard the sound of The Great Highland Bagpipes and come to appreciate the music.

Something Borrowed
When it came to welcoming their guests, Ingrid and Paulo knew exactly what they wanted... And Ali flew from Scotland to greet them as they arrived to the church! A    beautiful moment in the middle of Lisbon...

The Oitavos Hotel in Cascais is a wonderful venue for a wedding,  It is about a 40 minute drive away from Lisbon and the celebrations began with Ingrid and Paolo being piped into the hotel, followed by me piping them into dinner.

The Wedding Music was a Ceilidh by Licence to Ceilidh, London's Top Ceilidh Band.  What a band! Check them out!

Ingrid and Paolo

Ingrid and Paolo's wedding was a wonderful occasion and rounded off a quite remarkable weekend.  Ingrid was kind enough to write:-

Ingrid Hammond... and thanks to you Ali for bringing a true flavour of Scotland and some excellent piping to our Portuguese wedding! The crowd loved it!!

Ali Turner Piper... No problem at all! It was a pleasure!!

Very early on Friday, September 4 I caught a flight from Glasgow to London City Airport and then a flight from there to Madrid for I was the Wedding Piper for the wedding of Alphonso and Jo.

The wedding was being held at The Parroquia  de Santa Barbara in Madrid City Centre, a stunning location to get married. 

Alphonso and Jo were getting married at  18:00 and I piped for their guests arriving at the church, after the wedding service and then at their reception.

Congratulations to Alphonso and Jo
