Last year’s sold-out show produced the band’s award-winning “Raw and Off the Floor” record and proved once again why the el Mocambo has been a home to some many legendary and historic shows: the accoustics are fantastic! The well-mic’d guitar styling of McManus alongside the sounds of the pipe band (and a solo or two) will be sure to help make another unforgetable night of music. Self taught from childhood, initially through listening to the family record collection, Tony McManus abandoned academia in his twenties to pursue music full time. The session scene in Glasgow and Edinburgh provided the springboard for gigs around Scotland and a studio set for BBC Radio, frequently rebroadcast, began to spread the word. In addition to his prodigious solo work Tony is great demand as a studio musician having contributed to over 60 albums. Tickets for the May 21 show are limited and at $20 can be lined up by contacting band management. The band will be streaming the show live on ustream.com though nothing beats the ambience and unforgetable experience offered by the elMo! See you on the 21st of May!

I hope to see it, but not sure if it is just the one day. If I cannot attend I am hoping there will be a video for sale. I have gone on line and read some stories of the band and how it came into being. Good for them. I have also seen a video shown on (CBC I believe) this past summer (2010) about the SFU pipe band and how they work up to the worlds. It is not for sale from what I am told..pitty. It was produced in conjunction with the SFU pipe band and a video crew from SFU. Love Windsor Police Pipe band and hope to hear the band live this summer. Blessings to all Brenda I heard about this video and it coming to select theatres in Feb and so here it is!!
