Hogg consumes 100 Guineas Solo Piping
Johannesburg – March 31, 2019 – Josh Hogg won both the Piobaireachd and March to gain the overall senior prize at the 61st annual 100 Guineas Solo Piping Competitions held at the View in Parktown. Sean Cameron took the Junior 100 Guineas title.
The day was dampened by the news of the passing of South African piping stalwart Gary Davies. Davies learned to play the pipes at Northlea High School in Zimbabwe and then, after moving to South Africa, played in the Germiston Caledonian Society, SAS Rand and Transvaal Scottish. He was the first piping tutor of the St. Benedict’s Pipe Band, back when the band was formed in 1988, he served his 31 years with them with passion and enthusiasm until his untimely death. He will always be remembered as a kind and gentle man with the patience of a saint. Among his more prominent pupils was Gareth Rudolph, one of the best pipers to emerge from South Africa.
