Performance Director, Stevie Small MBE, on the history and future of bagpiping at the Tattoo
Join Performance Director, Stevie Small MBE, in conversation about the history of bagpiping at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and how our favourite instrument continues to evolve in exciting ways.
Starting as a highland dancer as a child who performed to the Pipes, Stevie set his sights on not only learning the bagpipes, but achieving his goal of becoming Pipe Major of The Black Watch.
Not only did he succeed in that role, but he went on to become the Head of the Army School of Bagpiping and Drumming, before leaving the Army to join us at the Tattoo.
Hear Stevie tell his story, and share his incredible insight into what it takes to perform on the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade.
