Jimi Marrakesh bound

 Jimi is delighted to be heading to Marrakesh, Morocco to pipe at a wedding.

Jimi will be performing with dozens of Moroccan musicians at the high-society wedding being held at the prestigious Beldi Country Club, not far from the centre of Marrakesh, this week.

"The groom is Scottish and he and his family were very keen to book me" said Jimi.

"Seemingly my reputation for flying the flag, doing a good job and performing alongside many African musicians over the years meant I was their first choice as wedding piper.

" Carole, my wife, is joining me on this trip which is fab. We're looking forward to having lots of fun. Marrakesh is one of the world's great cities with a fascinating history. It is well known for amazing music too. I hope I get a chance to play my pipes in the city's famous Medina central square. We are so lucky."

Jimi promises to share a few pics from the adventure once back in Scotland.

The Marrakesh trip follows a busy October of piping around Scotland for Jimi with the possible highlight being a performance at a unique commemorative remembrance event at St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen. 

The acoustics were stunning. A few pics from a very memorable day in the 'Granite City' are shared below.

Slainte!
