Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!

It’s bagpipes. It’s rock. It’s bagrock, where rock anthems merge with great tunes from the glens and mountains of Scotland.

It’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS (NOT Peppers!)—a nine-piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keyboardists, and drummers who rock the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and beyond with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless.

Since they won the top prize on the TV show When Will I Be Famous, The Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven’t stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! They have become a global phenomenon, taking their signature “bagrock” sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked-up bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademarked sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes, like “The Flowers of Scotland,” “The Hills of Argyll,” and “Amazing Grace” (done Chilli-style, of course!), and contemporary anthems like Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” “Clocks” by Coldplay, “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol, and others.
