LETTERS to the EDITOR Piper in Wartime

Dear Sir, It was necessary to phone in January re the non-delivery of the mag. A few days later I received a note saying 'call in at the Sorting Office'. Te mag had been sent but postage unpaid. A few more days later, another mag arrived, correctly paid. It’s all in the past and I don’t want reimbursement. As I have your attention, there’s likely to be more demand for solos and bands this year and for a long time in the WW1 context. I run a website which may be of interest. Now that the mag is all online, perhaps a link and a bit of text could go in.

It begins

with the piper in wartime via warpiper. info or go to http://thepiperinpeacetime. yolasite.com/. As a re-enactment piper, I am enthusiastically involved in raising

money for charities which attend the pseudo-military etc. events. Within the website I ask for advice as to the correct uniform to wear. I hope magazine readers will help. I travel with two sets of pipes – one as back-up. I do a fair amount of funerals and always know that if one set packs up at the wrong time, I can switch. One set has an angled blow-tube stock which I’ve used for years and years. I had hoped to find another but without success. With best wishes.

Alan F Harrison, via email
