Bill has been touring the USA and Canada ever since with his own brand of traditional and contemporary Scottish Music.
Bill is also a renowned expert in Scotch Whisky, having conducted many tastings and presentations on the “Water of Life” around the USA and Canada.

Our St Andrew’s Night will open with pipers and the Margaret Howard Highland Dancers. Then, after the opening toast, Bill will take over for a great singalong-a-whisky tasting!   There will be an opening toast followed by 4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky tastings from around Scotland.  As usual, there will be traditional Scottish food to accompany the Scotch, and for those who would prefer to drink wine or beer or not to partake in alcohol, we offer tickets to suit your tastes.
