should you wish to book the band or an interested in bagpipe, snare drum or samba drum tuition.

P.S.: Did you know: Leith, Scotland, is 'TWINNED' with Rio de Janeiro, Brazil??????? For that reason, I thought it would just be perfect to have a pipe and samba band for Leith (Near Edinburgh!)

This was the band playing at the Dusshera Indian Festival along Princes Street, 14 October 2007.
