Created by multi-instrumentalist and Director of Traditional Music at Strathallan, Craig Muirhead, Piping Club has become a global digital hub for high-quality video content, exclusive compositions, and deep-dive interviews with the world's most respected players.
A former Red Hot Chilli Piper and current member of the Grade 1 Inveraray and District Pipe Band, Craig brings his wealth of experience as both a top-tier performer and award-winning educator to the stage. This special festival edition features an exclusive, one-on-one interview with one of the biggest names in piping – stripping back the competition veneer to share the unique stories, insights, and technical secrets that shaped their career.
Whether you’re a long-time subscriber or new to the community, this is a rare chance to see the "set" in person and experience the thoughtful, engaging chat that has made Piping Club a must-watch for the modern piping world.
More details on this year’s special guest coming soon.
