Inveraray and District Pipe Band
Daniel has been a member of IDPB since the Autumn of 2009 and has progressed through the system and played the 2010 season in Novice Juvenile, 2011 in Juvenile then began his Grade 1 career in 2012. Daniel credits the former Pipe Major of the Novice and Juvenile band, Robert Stewart, as being an early inspiration in his early days competing with IDPB. Sadly Robert passed away before the 2011 season and Daniel was appointed as PM to lead the band on at contests. He also credits the help of Annie Grant and Kate Paton for helping him with pipe set-up and teaching him within the band.
He has played with the Grade 1 band at many of their recent championship wins, including the bands first ever Grade 1 Championship win at the European Championships 2014 in Forres. He has played in concert with them at 'Re-ignited' in Aberdeen in 2012 and the sold out pre-worlds concert 'Ascension' at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in August 2013. The best season to date has been the 2016 season with the band and drum corps winning the British and Scottish Championships, the drum corps winning the European Championship drumming title, band winning the 2016 Champion of Champions Band and Drumming prizes and coming within one point of winning the Worlds.
