The World and European Pipe Band Champions 2010, recorded live on the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall stage.

Showcases the Irish pipe band's versatility and skill.

Founded in Dublin in 1910, the band has risen up the world rankings to the very top.

"What a week for Pipe Major Terry Tully and his St Laurence O'Toole Pipe Band. Starting with Pipe Sgt Alen Tully winning the prestige quartette competition on the Tuesday night (10th August), this was followed by the sellout concert at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, which has been acclaimed as the finest pipe band concert since the series began fifteen years ago. Then came the 'icing on the cake' on Saturday when the band swept the boards in the Grade One World Pipe Band Championships 2010, winning both the MSR and Medley sections - a feat rarely accomplished before. A magnificent achievement and a fitting award to Terry and his band in this, their centenary year. Enjoy a feast of musicianship from the concert, which was a pleasure to be part of." (Malcolm M Mackenzie, producer).
