A pipe band’s performance has brought Scotland’s busiest train station to a standstill.
Members of one of the world’s leading grade one pipe bands, who are sponsored by Scottish Power, conducted a live performance for commuters inside Glasgow Central station on Saturday.
The band, decked out in tartan, played a rendition of Dougie MacLean’s song Caledonia, and a cover of Journey’s hit Don’t Stop Believin.
The group will compete at the upcoming British Pipe Band Championships on June 8 in Forres in Moray.
Chris Armstrong, Scottish Power pipe major said: “We’ve been lucky enough to perform in some amazing locations across the world, but it was really special to play in Glasgow Central Station.
“As home to Scottish Power’s HQ and the host city for the World Championships, Glasgow holds a very special place in our hearts and it was amazing to see the reaction of the audience.
Supplied“We could have played all afternoon!
“It was definitely one of our more unusual practice sessions and sets us up brilliantly for forthcoming competitions including the UK Pipe Band Championship on May 18 in Bangor and the British Pipe Band Championships on June 8 in Forres.
“Thanks to everyone who took the time to watch – and hopefully no one missed their train!”
SP Energy Networks’ Scott Mathieson, chairman of the pipe band, said: “The Scottish Power pipe band always blow audiences away with their performances, but the added element of surprise at Glasgow Central Station was a real stand-out moment.
“We’re so proud to sponsor such a talented team of pipers and drummers and loved seeing them showcase their skills in such a fun and different way.
“There’s lots more exciting performances to come this year and we can’t wait to follow them on their musical journey.”
