Possible Trip to Poland for the band?!


I just received an email from Tomek Ujma, the Pipe Major for the Czestochowa Pipes and Drums, in Czestochowa, Poland.  I initially wrote to him (at Roy's prodding!) when a few members expressed interest in my idea of heading to Poland for a possible band tour.


Here's part of his message:


I think it is possible to do it , Let me know some things;
- would you like to visit Poland as a toursits ? maybe it would be possible to get your stuff and play a little with us on some gigs? we got a year for choose common repertoire, and I think I could arrange some playing for both bands. Let me also know how many members would like to go here , and it I would like to know if it would be only band members or any civilian persons too.
I think we will go back to this subject in September, as this Saturday most of my band with me are flying on "Arabic Tour" - Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Oman. Rest of the band stay and play here , so we got a lot of organisations.
all the best
Tom

As you can see they seem open to the idea of meeting up with us over there.  It could be a great trip with some wonderful scenery.  

I am also in contact with a German band, the Geisenfeld Highlanders, to see if they would be open to something, as well. We can make it a European Tour!

Anyways, here is a sample from the Polish Band on youtube
