Stuart Easton & Brendon Eade Win at the Colin Craig

Stuart Easton won the Targe for Piobaireachd, playing Scarce of Fishing with Brendon Eade second playing the Unjust Incarceration. Brendon won the Colin Craig Claidhmor (MSR, Hornpipe & Jig) with Stuart Easton second. A fantastic day at the Celtic Inn I’m told (I had to be at a work team building event – bugger).

Brendon Eade

The judges were Martin Frewen and Richard Hawke, which means that they will be competitors next year.

Every competitor had to play a New Zealand composed tune in the light music, which added a nice touch.
