Pembridge Medieval Festival (Day 1)
Appearing at Pembridge Medieval Festival
We are most pleased to welcome Keith, a renowned Highland Piper and former British diplomat now residing in Herefordshire. Though his music echoes across distant lands, Keith has long lent his talents to our gatherings and has supported Pembridge’s medieval festivities for many years.
He shall grace the Pembridge Medieval Festival on both Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th of May.
Whilst he is oft seen in traditional Highland dress, Keith will don a more fitting guise to perform as a medieval piper, joining Lord and Lady Skydemore for the grand Opening Ceremony at the Market Hall at 10 o’clock on Saturday morn.
Let it be known that Keith was recently honoured with second place in the Scottish Wedding Piper of the Year Competition—a noble feat, given the many fine pipers who contended.
