SCOTTISH GAS WELCOMES SUPERSTAR SCOTTISH LASS
Taylor Swift with her Scottish ancestry was welcomed to Edinburgh by bagpipers playing her biggest hits.
With the star performing at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium from Friday 7th – Sunday 9th June, stadium sponsorship signage has also been aptly changed to ‘Scottish Lass’ to greet the singer and celebrate her Scottish roots.
As the first UK leg on her sold-out Era’s tour, Edinburgh residents rolled out a warm welcome in the best way they know how, with eight highland bagpipers and three drummers taking to their instruments to toot out the tune to Taylor’s earlier hit, Love Story.
Roddy Deans, Pipe Major of The Reel Time Band, said “Taylor’s tunes translate surprisingly well to traditional Scottish instruments.
“We’re all huge music fans, so we’re delighted to help welcome Taylor to Scotland in the best way we know how. It’s been a lot of fun recreating Love Story on the bagpipes and putting this ensemble together.”
The Reel Time Pipe Band, who have played all over the world and for audiences including The Royal Family, prepared with 32 hours of rehearsal to deliver the over one-minute Taylor Swift smash hit.
