TWELVE THOUSAND MILES CD

Twelve Thousand Miles is the distance between New Zealand and Scotland, and the distance many of our ancestors travelled over 150 years ago on a one way voyage in search of a new life. Ultimately, Twelve Thousand Miles is the distance the Band must now travel to ply its trade against the Worlds best. It is also the spread of membership across the globe, spanning two hemispheres, three continents and six countries.

In early 2009 the band recorded its second CD which was released in the Southern Hemisphere at the New Zealand Pipe Band Championships, March 2009. The Cd was realeased twelve thousand miles away in the Northern Hemisphere at the 2009 Piping Live Festival, Glasgow.
