Metro Cup medleys in video
We’re pleased to bring you medley performances from the 2016 Metro Cup Invitational Solo Piping Competition, held on February 20, 2016, at the Ramada Airport Hotel in Newark, New Jersey. Contestants could perform whatever they wished in a medley between five and eight minutes long. Each piper had five minutes to tune.
We received permission from the competition organizers and each player shown, and offered monetary compensation to the pipers in return.
The first five videos, accessible on separate pages, are in the order of finish in the Medley event. After that they are in alphabetical order by last name:
1st Gordon Walker, Galston, Scotland
2nd Callum Beaumont, Linlithgow, Scotland
3rd Willie McCallum, Bearsden, Scotland
4th Alasdair Henderson, Dunoon, Scotland
5th Glenn Brown, Glasgow
We thank each piper and hope that pipes|drums readers enjoy these often amazing performances.
What is the name of the air in Willie’s medley and where can I get the sheet music?
