Original Bagpipe Band Red Hot Chilli Pipers to Celebrate 15 Years with Warrington Gig

There has never been anything quite like Red Hot Chilli Pipers: the original bagpipe band are celebrating 15 years with a gig at Parr Hall.

From their formation in 2002 and a cameo appearance at T in the Park in 2004 with The Darkness to opening the main stage in their own right in 2014, the past fifteen years have seen the Red Hot Chilli Pipers become the most famous bagpipe band on the planet... ever!

Bagpipes with attitude, drums with a Scottish accent and a show that carries its own health warning are heading to Warrington at Parr Hall, Palmyra Square South, Warrington, WA1 1BL on Friday 17 November at 8pm. For tickets (£22.50), contact 01925 442345 or go online at www.pyramidparrhall.com.

The band's achievements have reached incredible heights with their ground-breaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call "bagrock".

Red Hot Chilli Pipers are a genuinely unique experience and they have never been more in demand for their infectious style of feel-good music which appeals right across the age range to people all over the world.

They have collected together an impressive group of musicians from Scotland and further afield, many holding World Championship titles and all seriously good players with impressive credentials and qualifications.

In 2014 the Chilli Pipers released a new live DVD and CD entitled Live at the Lake, which captured an explosive evening of entertainment, bringing 16 musicians and dancers across the Atlantic to perform at Milwaukee Irish Fest, the band's US spiritual home, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

During the winter of 2015/2016 the Pipers recorded new tracks and released a new studio album, Octane, which represents a high energy, powerful, intense and inspiring album; it's a continued fusion of traditional tunes and rock classics which takes bagrock to a whole new level.

Pyramid & Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland and Peter Kay to name a few.

Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats. Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.

The venues are run by Culture Warrington which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
