The leader of Simon Fraser University's award-winning pipe band is inviting Vancouverites to tap their feet and enjoy the group's first local performance in more than five years.
The pipe band's 30th anniversary concert, featuring Highland dancers as well as music from bagpipes, drums, keyboards and guitars, is scheduled for Sunday at the Vogue Theatre. The group has grabbed the top spot at the Glasgow World Pipe Band Championship six times and second place nine times.
Pipe major Terry Lee says people don't need to be familiar with the genre to have a good time at the show.
"You don't have to know anything about bagpipes to tap your foot and be affected by a great bagpipe presentation," he told ctvbc.ca.
Lee has been at the helm of the group with his brother for 30 years.
"For me, there's nothing quite like it," he said. "It's just a pure love of music and the sounds of bagpipes and drums played well."
