Band History
Liddell lives in Inveraray and is Pipe Major of the hugely successful juvenile Inveraray Pipe Band—a band he helped found. For ten years (1998–2008), he played with the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band in Burnaby, British Columbia and won three World Pipe Band Championship titles (1999, 2001, 2008). Before joining the SFU Pipe Band, he played with Scottish Power Pipe Band. Stuart Liddell goes around some of the schools in Argyll teaching them how to play the chanter and then later on play the pipes or drums in the pipe band.

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or history:
“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
