During our Friday practice nights, there is always opportunity for a chat as well as play. Here we have a group that reflects the wide spectrum of experience we have in our Society.

Neil Myles & Dennis Arnott
L to R Neil Myles, Walenty Smernicki and Dennis Arnott
Neil Myles Neil has played the pipes for some time, since learning after he married. His first band was the Kirkcaldy Ambulance Service while he taught in the town. He then moved to Perth Grammar and continued his Piping with Perth and District Pipe Band. After his retirement from Arbroath High School, Neil moved home to Scone when he was instantly snapped up by his old band, Perth & District. He had no more stepped in the door when he took over as secretary and is even now working towards revitalising the band and finding new drummers. SO IF YOU KNOW ANY, CONTACT ME THROUGH THE WEB SITE AND I'LL PASS IT ON!
Dennis was so good - He landed on the guitar!
Dennis Arnott Affectionately known as "Wullie Reed" owing to the number of REEDS he went through early on. All kidding aside, Dennis has only been learning since mid 2002, but perhaps because of his Folk background, he has come through quite quickly.
In June 2004, Dennis escaped the Rat Race by taking early retirement and there was a great heap O' folk at his house for a swareeee. There was even a mini band on duty, playing in the gardens during the afternoon.
The 1960's With Dennis
Things had too improve
Even if it meant climbing Mount Keen to get away from the neighbours.
