Red Hot Chilli Pipers,
Bagrock to the Masses
(Rel, 2007)


Bagpipes with attitude! Drums with a Scottish accent! A blazing rock band and a show so hot it carries its own health warning. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless.

They were winners of the BBC-1 primetime show When Will I Be Famous and were voted "Live Act of the Year 2007" at the Scots Trad Music Awards. Just this past April the lads accompanied Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond on the Tartan Day Parade outside Radio City Music Hall, New York, to celebrate Scottish week.

From Rel Records, Red Hot Chilli Pipers' new CD, Bagrock to the Masses, stirs the Celtic spirit and will make you run to the computer to find out when they will be in country near you. From rock tunes like Coldplay's "Clocks" to traditional songs like "Flower of Scotland," the Chilli's high-spirited rock pipes are ablaze with creativity and passion. Cuts like "The Dark Island" would stir the soul of anyone right down to their DNA.

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers say it best, "You've felt the heat! Now come closer to the fire!"
