Regimental Music
Recordings
In 2010, in honour of
the Regiment's Centennial year, the Regimental Pipes and Drums produced
their second ambitious recording entitled Airaghardt: ONWARD. The
title refers to the Regimental Motto, rendered in both Gaelic and
English, a motto shared with the City of Calgary. As with the first
recording, the tracks are a mixture of standard regimental tunes,
combined with non-traditional music such as a rousing rendition of "Haughs
of Cromdale" with guest musicians The Boys of St. James' Gate, with Dave
Grobe (Drums), Dave Best (Bass), Justin Stewart (Electric Guitar),
Dwayne Marsden (Bouzouki & Acoustic Guitar), Bill O'Neil (Tin Whistle)
and Glenn Macleod (Vocals & Bodran). Carlos Foggin lent his skills to
the Pipe Organ for the regimental favourite "Highland Cathedral" as well
as the Ode to Joy. Also included on the CD are two historical recordings
taken from radio broadcasts of the 1st Battalion's return to Calgary
from war service in November 1945. |
