ROAD TO THE WORLDS DUBLIN – July 30th

And we’ve come to the end of the Road! What better place to do it than in Dublin, home to eleven bands who will battle it out at the worlds in August! The most successful Irish band of all time, the St Laurence O’Toole Pipe band gave passengers at Dublin Airport an absolutely spectacular performance that brought the arrivals to a standstill and one American tourist to tears of happiness!

All in all, the Homecoming Scotland Road To The Worlds Tour has been a huge success. We’ve taken nine brilliant bands, to towns and cities across the UK as well as Dublin and Toronto and really injected a taste of world class piping into the lives of commuters, travellers, festival goers, sports fans and shoppers handing out thousands of flyers and appearing in local media in each place. Now we hope to welcome some of them at Glasgow green on 15th August for a little bit more!
