The SFU Pipe Band is proud to release its 11th album, Affirmation, recorded at the band’s sold-out show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall just three days before winning its sixth World Pipe Band Championship at Glasgow Green.
Pipe Major Terry Lee listed among the album’s highlights the band’s rendition of the piobaireachd ‘Field of Gold’, composed by Donald MacLeod, and the Mark Saul-composed suite, ‘Tir Nan Og’. Terry also cites the opening track, ‘Beaches of Harris’, as being “very powerful.”
“August 2009 was one of the best months in SFU’s history”, Terry Lee commented. “Playing before a packed house and recording the Affirmation CD on the Wednesday before the World’s was a thrill. Then to win our sixth World Championship three days later was a tremendous high point for us.”
The album, officially released on December 7th, is available at the band’s newly launched website, SFUPB.com, as well as at select retailers. Via the band’s online store, fans can purchase the album in a variety of formats, including cd, limited-edition autographed cd, MP3 album, and individual MP3 tracks.
