THE Review has joined up with mppromotions and Tramshed for this week’s red hot competition, where our readers have the chance to win a pair of tickets to see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers play at Tramshed in Cardiff, on Saturday, May 18th.

There has never been anything quite like The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, from their formation in 2002 and a cameo appearance at T in the Park in 2004 with the Darkness, to opening the main stage in their own right in 2014. The past fifteen years has seen the Red Hot Chilli Pipers become the most famous bagpipe band on the planet...ever! Bagpipes with attitude, drums with a Scottish accent and a show that carries its own health warning.

The bands achievements have reached incredible heights with their groundbreaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call “Bagrock.” The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are a genuinely unique experience.

The Chillis have never been more in demand for their infectious style of feel good music which appeals right across the age range to people all over the world. They have collected together an impressive group of musicians, dancers and singers from Scotland and further afield, many holding World Championship titles and all seriously good players with impressive credentials and qualifications. 

In February 2019 the Pipers and Tom Walker released a new version of his massive hit “Leave a Light On.” The release is in aid of Nordoff Robins, the music therapy charity and it went straight into the iTunes top five. The collaboration came about after Tom performed with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers at Murrayfield Rugby Stadium before the Scotland v Italy Six Nations match.

The band’s “Fresh Air” world tour comes to the UK in May 2019, with their concert in Cardiff Tramshed on Saturday, May 18th.

In June 2019, they will release a new studio album, entitled "Fresh Air”.  It´s an exciting fusion of brand-new songs and carefully selected covers. In a new departure for the Red Hot Chilli Pipers many of the songs include lead vocals. Some of the highlights are “Leave the Light On” featuring Tom Walker on vocals. Leonard Cohen’s “Hallalujah” and “Shut Up and Dance” from the American band Walk the Moon, both songs feature the incredibly talented Chris Judge on vocals.
