Field Marshal Montgomery

 

Can they do it again? Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band has won the World Pipe Band Championship for the last two years. So far, this year they have won the European Championships - can the band hold onto the World Championship title?

awesome , sounded like six pipers who knows how many were playing ...........i could not fault the drum corp either.....my favourite pipe band ever

Have to agree with Simon, on their day the drumcore can be the best, it was their day at the euros, just a wee bit behind at the worlds. I think the settings are the most musical, you can hear the pipe tune coming through really well in the drumming. Gordon Parks and Wee Andy still have a good influence on this corps. Keep up the good work Keith!

WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD...

Ah, now I know why I can never get any black tape when I go to the shops !! The piper at 1.01 in the Medley obviously bought the lot !! Only kidding. Very good, I liked the set though the SFU were deserved winners.

amazing bass section

Simon
So nearly 3 in a row....but still, what an awesome sound. I can see why some people dont like them, but jealousy is a terrible thing! Personally the drum corp are the weak link. When they are on form, they are my favourite, but every now and again they slip a little. Look at the Euro's08. They were awesome in Lisburn. But they just lacked a wee bit of bite compared with one or two other bands on the day. Though i have to say they deserved higher in my opinion, when you compare thier playing to those above them. Richard Parkes and Co have to be considered as one of the greatest pipe bands of all time. Well done.

Billy
Awesome outfit and have been since the early 90's. Definetely the most consistent band - have been robbed on numerous occasions and could easily have smashed Strathclydes record of six in row had the judges got ears!!!

cameron currie
great sound....but pretty marion...too fast...no expresion..like turnin a tap on and lettin it run

BandFan
Amazing pipe sound miles in front of anyone!!the way it worked out was bound to happen!!Someone with a amazing drum core like Sfu's was going to pip them too the post in the overall results !

Ollie
This band are without doubt the best band in the world and should of won! The tunes are played excellently, the drone sound is superb. Glad to see they won Cowal. Brilliant drum corp aswell.

sid moore piper
now this is what im talking about in drone sound....richard and big frank spot on.

A. Cynic
Clear winners on the day, I suppose a few of the judges want a wee holiday in Canada, another result based on politics not music,

Naked Piper
Still the best pipe corps at the moment!!Pure quality.

SRM
The block on videos can be bypassed for non-UK viewers. Go to pipebandsforum.com and hunt down the relevant post! Say no more.

Robert Grant
Superb!!! Still the best sounding band by a country mile!!!

James
The class of the field - no matter what the result might read! The MSR was simply the best ever heard. The Medley, while not their best ever put together, was still played better than anything else on the day! 2009 should be interesting!

scott
very good piping sound, let down by tune selection, it's not bad though! sfu deserved to win i think.

boom
distracting bass section

cheese
still the best!

Paul
Don't really have a clue about drumming, it's all noise to me. Piping was amazing when I heard them on 16th August.

Andy
They won the World Title by a mile !!! excellent MSR and Medley selection and their drum-corps are with it to !!

Barry
Very poor drumming ?Couple of mistakes but hardly poor. Listened to these guys tuning up and believe me they were awesome. Both drum and pipe corps were a joy to listen to.Unlucky not to win this year.<

Bob
This band would be untouchable if they had a decent drum corps!

coffee
this is the best band in the world regardless. they will be back even stronger and better next season.
