Join Gary for a Halloween special, and hear about some of the deep rooted traditions associated with the festival and what lies behind them. And of course there is plenty of appropriate pipe music to lighten the mood, with sets from Lincoln Hilton, Steve Byrne, The Victoria Police Pipe Band, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, John MacLean, Troy MacGillivray and Hugh MacDiarmid's Haircut. There's a full rendition of Robert Burns' epic tale, Tam O'Shanter, and a seldom heard reply from his wife, Kate! So grab your turnip lantern (or pumpkin if you must!), get the fancy dress on, and let's go guising!
