Around 150 pipers will take over Glasgow streets as part of a special inclusive event.

The Big Band march will take place as a part of Piping Live!, the "world's biggest" piping festival.

On Monday, August 14, musicians of all ages and abilities are invited to take part in the mass participation event.

Pipe major Dr Andrew Bova, who will be leading the musicians, said: "It's always a highlight of Piping Live!.

"It's quite a cool feeling having over 100 pipers and drummers behind you, supporting you with the music and playing along, walking through Glasgow.

"Getting the music out into the heart of the city is such a great feeling."

This year's entry fees will go to the charity Versus Arthritis.

The 34-year-old added: "Of course, for musicians, pipers and drummers especially, arthritis is a horrible infliction, so it's a wonderful thing to be able to raise money in support of research for Versus Arthritis."

Drummer Keeva, 11, will join the march with her brother Josh, who has been taking part in the annual event since 2016.

She said: "This is my second time, I did it last year. It was really fun.

"It was a very long day, my back was hurting the whole time from carrying the drums but it was fun.

"There were tons of people there."

The 15-year-old piper added: "Luckily, we had decent weather, it was nice and sunny.

"Meeting lots of people is an experience and getting to march through the city, you feel like a movie and it's really enjoyable.

"Just sign up, don't worry, people are there to help you.

"It's not about competing, it's about enjoying yourself."
