SUMMARY:The Raasay Piping Competition
DESCRIPTION:How to get to Raasay \n\nYou’ll need to get to Skye first. From there\, you can catch the ferry to Raasay from Sconser. \nSconser – Raasay is a Turn up and Go route – when you pre-purchase tickets on this route\, you’ll be purchasing an ‘open’ ticket for a chosen departure date\, valid for the season in which you’ve purchased it\, but it won’t have a specific sailing time. Simply turn up at the port of departure and go on the next available sailing. \n\n\nThe competition is being sponsored by award winning Isle of Raasay Distillery\, and it will be held on the island of Raasay on Saturday\, September 7\, 2024. \nThe competition format will be: a slow air seann nós style or a piobaireachd song followed by a selection of dance music (Strathspeys and Reels) to be played with a tempo and rhythm suitable to be danced to by a hard shoe percussive Scottish step dancer. \nThe four judges who will invigilate are: Dr. Angus MacDonald and Anna Murray for the slow air/piobaireachd song\, and Angus MacKenzie and Frank McConnel for the dance music. \nFirst Prize to be a small cask of Raasay Whisky worth £3\,000. Second Prize to be a selection of bottles of Raasay Whisky. \n\nTwelve competitors are being invited to take part.\nThere will neither be a performance fee nor an entry fee.\nPipes to be played are standard Highland pipes.\nThe competition will be set up so that the judges will not be able to see who is playing.\nTickets will be available from The Raasay Distillery – raasaydistillery.com\n\nThe competitors are: James MacKenzie\, Angus Nicolson\, Michael Grey\, Hector Henderson\, Decker Forrest\, Lorne Cousin\, Duncan Nicholson\, Simon MacKerrell\, Ben Duncan\, Ailis Sutherland\, Micheal Steele and Ciar Milne. \nProgramme for September 7 on Raasay. \n10.00 am. Introduction followed by a talk given by Hugh Cheape on The MacKays of Raasay. \n10.30 – 12.00 Competition first half. \n12.00 – 14.00 Lunch in Raasay Distillery. \n14.00 – 15.30 Competition second half. \n15.30 onwards. Drinks Reception/Whisky Tasting in Raasay Distillery during which it is hoped that a session of music will break out which will\, inevitably\, ‘lead to dancing’. \nFerry Departures – 17.00 – 18.05 or even 20.30. \n\nBecause Hamish Moore is not on social media\, he has requested that if anyone has any questions or comments about the Isle of Raasay Distillery competition on September 7\, that people get in touch with him directly either by phone (07595 599 849) or by email hamishmoore@outlook.com \n \n
