Grade 2 Pipe Major Keith J Bowes commented, “I was delighted for both bands to make the top 3 in each grade at the first Major of the season and it was great to see such a significant competition come to Renfrewshire, this allowed a lot of our learners to come and watch so many top pipe bands in the world.  Both bands have made a good start to the season but we hope to improve on our performances at the UK championships in a few weeks time.
