And just in case this submissions raises ‘Is it Irish?’ comments, here’s a bit of background:
Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band

“In May, 1945, a group of youths from the townland of Carryduff on the outskirts of Belfast, wrote to Bernard law Montgomery […] seeking his permission to use his name in the formation of a pipe band. […] The first British general to defeat German commander Rommel in a WWII battle replied in the affirmative.”

A lot of water has passed under the bridge but Pipe band music is still strongly associated for many with war like stuff. Anyhow,
“The ‘Montgomery’ band has ‘since 1986 competed in the higher echelon of world piping” and at the time of this recording (1992) had become a byword for innovation … and “perhaps it is the ‘playing for the love of it’* syndrome that has spurred the band to even higher peaks of perfection when competing against their Scottish and Canadian rivals.” (quotes: Tommy Millar)

*The Band is run on a voluntary basis, no player remunerated
