Episode072:Pipers’Persuasion learned of the BB Exhibition at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and met Robert Wallace, an old 214 BB man, who took us through the Memorabilia and coincidentally met with Irene who had emigrated to Australia and was back in Glasgow doing some research. Interesting talk. Robert then took us through the highlights of the 214 Co BB Pipe Band a famous juvenile band in its day, spawning many a great piper and drummer.

Message:Hi Allan
As always, a pleasure to see your interviews, especially regarding 072: Boys Brigade – 214 Co BB Band. As secretary of the 214 Ex Members Association, I would like to thank you and Rab for your input in keeping the history of the 214 alive. I have had the link to pipers persuasion on the 214 website for about 5 years.
The 214 has a website with a lot of history, pictures, Sound files, Music, video etc. The full music collection of Alex MacIver is available here to download (30 tunes) all free of charge. Many thanks Alan for all your hard work.Regards Alan McColl (Secretary)
