Not for everyone...

But for you, Dereck as seen on FB.

Does he play them for the Queen at breakfast time?

Nah. last time I played for the queen as she was heading up to government house, she rolled her windows up in the roller. Or so I was told.

Perhaps her own personal bagpiper keeps his bagpipes in tune?

I usually catch fish every time I go fishing,. Got a good bite here.

Actually, the royal family does have an appreciation for what we do. Just that our bands are very load at close quarters. I did get to know one of the Queens personal pipers [ ex Gordon's ] as a result or our performances at the Tattoo.

BTW, I cant stand un-tuned bagpipes or bum players. Nothing worse to ruin the reputation. Say no more.
