* A POPULAR RECENT RELEASE: The Haddington Pipe Band - The Haddington Turnpike And Other Great Pipe Tunes (CD).  The Haddington Pipe Band was formed in 1981, very much as a community band.  That ethos, championed by Pipe Major David Leckie and their honorary president Bill Bradford (two of the original founders), remains their guiding principle.
