The Northern Meeting Piping Competition

A snapshot of some of the best solo piping in the world. The Northern Meeting attracts superb pipers from across the globe and we are already looking ahead to next year's event to make it just as wonderful as this year.

It was an immense competition with superb piping. There will be more pics to follow.

Many thanks to Piping Press for getting the results out so quickly yesterday. It was a great competition. Well done and thank you to all who took part.

There’s a relaxed atmosphere at Eden Court Theatre and Cinema as we wait for the prize-giving.
