HALSWAY PIPERS 2008 A RUNAWAY SUCCESS
"The Pipers 2008 weekend at Halsway was the best yet" said to Alan Corkett, Event Manager and a Trustee of Halsway Manor.
"The piping staff performed wonders with the groups, presented a superb public concert on Saturday evening and gave of their time and expertise in abundance. The recent improvements and new decoration in the Long Room were much appreciated as was the good food".
2008 saw the largest ever number of attendees at the eighth pipers weekend hosted by Halsway Manor, England's only residential centre for traditional music. Many guests took the opportunity to stay over on Sunday evening and welcomed the Halway Sunday Club regualrs with a wonderful piping party with local singers and musicians added to extend the weekend into a memorable occasion.
