I had a different take on it after I saw them at KY. They only had one piper, and 5 or 6 drummers. Is that normal for them? It's like the pipes were an afterthought, and it was drowned out by all the relentless pounding. They're great at what they do, but I like it better when the bagpipes are the main ingredient of a bagpipe band.

Yeah Frog is the only piper. They mic him though usually. I love the setup they have. :)

Albannach describes themselves as a Drum Corp, of the type
which once accompanied the army into battle!! 
You see, Syn?  not a bagpipe band at all
much more primal
yeah

Have to say that seeing Albannach was the highlight of the weekend!  We were on the opposite side of the grounds when we heard the drums and caused a bit of a scene as Mistress Sarah in her courtly gown sprinted full wind across the maypole  grounds and nearly took out a 3 year old passing the Aleing Knight!     They were so exciting!  Sarah is an instant fan.  We will definately find a way to see them again!

That was me as well, Amy.  I was over by the Pirate Ship waiting for the parade to start and I heard the drumming!  I don't think I've ever ran that fast!  Every faire employee knew exactly where I was headed too, as I heard "they've just started!"  ;D

I heard them when the parade started.   My director said "you hear the drums?  That's Albannach." So off an on I heard them.... until I got closer to the Revelers stage.  Poor Paladin.  He was a wee bit spooked by all the persistant beating of the drums.  But my goodness did hearing them make my blood sing.  After the knighting ceremony I was able to sit and watch their entire show.  What a good time.  For a few minutes I was not the "Queen of England" I was just a girl watching a drum corp and thoroughly enjoying myself!!   ;D
