Look what I just found!
Comming home is always a good excuse for poking around old boxes of stuff.
I just found this old shot of the pipe band. I had no idea that it existed!
We never got any shots of us in the band together as we rather had our hands full with the pipes at the time. We seem to be in a break on parade somewhere (probably outside yet another pub) and I guess I would have been around thirteen or fourteen.
right to left... John Tinnion (pipe major), John Stewart, Me, My idiot Father.
Here is another shot of my Father around the same time looking like the "Monarch of the Glen".
PRICELESS!

Andrew, I took both these photos. The first is at Accrington fire station on the night of your dad's retirement party in 1978.
The second was taken in Astley park, Chorley when he was playing at the carnival (c.1980).
A great blog,
Best wishes,
Dave
