The Caledonian Piping Club in Saltcoats, Ayrshire, have been running the Festival of Juvenile Solo Piping each October since 2003. The competition was established as a tribute to the Club’s co-founder, Colin McCallum, who died in October of 2002.
This year would have been the 20th competition if Covid-19 had not forced the event to be cancelled twice. The event co-ordinator, Gerard McClumpha, plans to mark the 20th anniversary of the death of Colin McCallum, with a ‘Champion of Champions‘ competition, and invite all the previous Junior & Senior ‘Champions‘ to the Festival of Juvenile Solo Piping in 2022.
