TRADtv provided coverage from Glasgow's 2023 Piping Live! Festival in the run up to the World Pipe Band Championships. As part of our activity at the world famous celebration of bagpiping from all across the world, we caught up with various pipe bands as they rehearsed for the big competition throughout the week.
Here, we chat with Pipe Major Kgape Molepo of New Zealand's Auckland & District Pipe Band about the band's rigorous preparation and long journey to compete in the world's premier bagpipe band competition.
