The Blackwood & Hickory album takes its name from the sell-out '80th Anniversary' concert in which the Mid Argyll Pipe Band featured in 2007. A bold and exciting step into new musical territory with innovative arrangements of new and traditional piping tunes. In addition to some excellent Band sets, the album showcases intriguing original compositions by Pipe Major Tony Higgins of Lochgilphead and Rod Buchanan from Kilmartin.
