Tuesday evenings as usual is practice night for the British Club Bangkok Pipe Band. This evening they had us upstairs in the Wordsworth room in the British Club. Three pipers and two drummers in attendance. I was also able to show off the argyle jacket I had just picked up from the tailor.
Most of the sets we practiced were for the upcoming Burn’s night events:
At the Londoner on January 25th. We will be playing a couple sets upstairs at Bangkok’s oldest BrewPub.
