Fashion and passion: Piper tells how grateful he is to play at Dior

Fresh from Dior’s star-studded event at Drummond Castle in Perthshire, Finlay MacDonald took time out to tell the Sunday National how grateful he is that this year’s Piping Live! festival will go aheadFROM masterminding the stirring sound of the pipes at last week’s Dior fashion show to organising Scotland’s major piping festival, Finlay MacDonald’s career is anything but boring.

As director of piping at Scotland’s National Piping Centre, it’s to be expected that a piping festival would be part of MacDonald’s remit – but Dior? Even MacDonald was slightly taken aback to be asked to enter the world of high fashion, despite being dubbed “Piper to the Stars” after playing with the likes of Bryan Adams and Primal Scream.

Coates created the soundscapes for the Dior show and worked with MacDonald to create a suitable atmosphere to set off the clothes.“It was really cool to work with him as he is a highly experienced and respected composer and was totally on board with the pipes being very much embedded within the show,” said MacDonald.

“They were lucky it was a beautiful night although I’m sure they had a plan B in place,” said MacDonald.
