I have just noticed that this page is two years old but I’ve come this far so…

I’m trying to promote the idea of re-naming “Prestwick Glasgow international Airport”. Many believe it shuld be “The Robert Burns International Ayrport, Prestwick, Scotland ” as was the Sikh Laird in Scotland, Baron Sirdar Iqbal Singh. Is there any chance of him having a say on the worldburnsclub forum?

hey sonia… if by “these guys”, you mean the guys in the Sikh bagpipe band, then they’re all from Malaysia.. the video clip is from a malaysian tv station and thus it’s in malay..

there’s actually a Sikh bagpipe band in Malaysia: http://www.sridasmesh.com/. Been around for 10-15 years and they travel to the US, Canada, UK etc.. – worth watching if they come to town

You can see them here: http://www.sumo.tv/video/676812 http://thestaronline.com/news/story.asp?file=/2007/4/5/southneast/17339699&sec=southneast

Just a little note: The bagpipe and dhol is not a new combination. This combination used to be prevalent at various celebrations(Marriages etc.) in rural Haryana before the brass band came (and then the DJ’s and the ban, but that’s a different story).

NaS: That was 'Ae Fond Kiss,' no?

They have a fondness for bagpipes at Delhi's Republic Day celebrations.
