Gary brings you the winning performances from the recent Wheel of Fortune contest run by the City of Edinburgh Pipe Band, with sets from Cameron Drummond, Craig Sutherland and King of the Jokers, John Mulhearn! There's a classic pipe band track from 1979 which features one of our listeners performing with the Triumph Street Pipe Band from British Columbia who lifted the world drumming title that day in Nottingham. There's a sparkling set on uillean pipes from Calum Stewart, and look out too for our first piobaireachd of this new podcast, Roddy MacLeod playing an appropriate tune for Coronation week - the King's Taxes!
