Strike Up, Strike Sure

Książki poświęcone muzyce wojskowej to rzadkość. Książka poświęcona szkockiej muzyce wojskowej to już prawdziwy unikat. Publikacja w języku angielskim. Books detailing military music are rare, with books on Scottish military music rarer still. Almost no academic attention has been given to the history of Scottish regimental Pipes and Drums and the essential role they have performed for centuries, both in times of war and peace, in relation to regimental identity, tradition, daily life, morale and esprit de corps. Strike Up, Strike Sure describes, for the first time, the unique, ground-breaking, and distinguished history of one such band; the Pipes and Drums of the London Scottish Regiment. This pipe band, from a Volunteer, Territorial, Reserve regiment located in the Scottish Diaspora in London, has had a profound and direct impact on Scottish military music and pipe band culture and traditions for over 225 years.
