Country of Origin:

Scotland

An ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keyboards and drummers with musicianship of the highest order and a huge passion for pipes, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers won the UK primetime TV talent show When Will I Be Famous in 2007. They haven't stopped for a breath since (other than to inflate their bagpipes!) and their debut album, Bagrock to the Masses, went platinum in Scotland and was the highest selling album from any act on a Scottish label that year.

A fusion of traditional pipe tunes and contemporary anthems, the classic Red Hot Chilli Pipers sound or ‘bagrock' includes Chilli style versions of Clocks by Coldplay, Queen's We Will Rock You, a rock medley of Deep Purple's Smoke On the Water, AC/DC's Thunderstruck and Scotland’s unofficial national anthem Flower of Scotland.
