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:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
