Regimental Music Recordings
 

 

In 1990, in conjunction with the Presentation of Queen's Colour, the Regimental Pipes and Drums produced their very first recording, on both compact disc and cassette tape.  Entitled Eighty Years of Glory, and released by Band Leader Records, the recording featured a mix of traditional and new bagpipe and drum music, as well as the hymn Highland Cathedral accompanied by Mr. Terence Fullerton on the Carthy Organ. Regimental Bard Jack Whyte also performed on several tracks, including two poems written by him in tribute to the Regiment's most revered battle honours.
