"I've worked with Ron since 2012 and since then his involvement as a guitarist with the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland has played an integral part in assisting with the continued musical development of both Senior and Development Bands. Ron has a fantastic knack for producing a catchy rhythm with his guitar that can make a played out traditional tune seem completely refreshed and new again. He's a very reliable musician and I look forward to having his continued work with the band into the future.” ALISDAIR McLAREN, Director of The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland
