BASEL TATTOO 2012

Here some cool clips from the performance with the great piper Captain (Retired) Stuart D Samson MBE and the Ailsa Craig Highland Dancers Schottland. From finale of the Basle Tattoo a recording from me with my friend Stuart.

In the finale I played the piece "Band of Borthers", a tune from the american TV serie about the "101 Airborne Division" from second world war on the solo flute (Bb Fife with conical bore). For me it was a very emotional moment - my father was sodier in this unit.

The Basel Tattoo had 18 performances with more than 8000 visitors per show - it is the second large event worldwide benath the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Enjoy the video with the "backround band" of more than 500 musicans and singers.

As a bonus: two additional "backstage clips"
