Next up - a returning member from before covid!

Name - Lisa Thomson

Position - Tenor Drummer

Where are you from? - Edinburgh

Previous bands - Uddingston, Glasgow Police, Balagan, George Watson’s College

Occupation - Nurse

Favourite band - Uddingston… obviously, hence why I came back 😉 otherwise, G1 would be Inveraray.

What made you join a pipe band? My older brother played the snare drum throughout school… after being dragged to all the contests it just happened naturally. Feel so incredibly lucky to have been under such amazing tutors at Watsons to start my pipe band career.

Did you know anyone in Uddingston before you joined? Yes, funnily enough a few familiar faces!!!

Favourite contest - Worlds

Useless piece of info about you? I have 2 beautiful cocker spaniels that my life revolves around 😂 my babies

Other hobbies? I recently got engaged, a lot of time is spent wedding planning and venue hunting just now (dw Craig, I’ll make sure it doesn’t fall on a major!!), between that, dog walking, band practices and work, life is busy!

If you could have 5 at your table for dinner, who would it be? David Attenborough, Neil Armstrong (I have far too many questions about space I just can’t wrap my head around it🫨😵‍💫), Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Kim Kardashian

Ideal roommate for an away trip?

Rebecca, everyone needs her calming influence and one liners 😂

Worst possible roommate for an away trip?

Anyone who snores.

What’s a typical week for you leading up to a major?

Nothing too wild, same as every other practice week. Concentrate, work hard, keep the focus and then enjoy the major.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Hawthorn Pipe Band's 2025 National NZ National Championships Campaign as an artist for the ACF (Australian Cultural Fund)!

Thanks to your incredible support, our 2024 ACF campaign was a resounding success, enabling us to compete at both the Australian and New Zealand Pipe Band Championships in 2024.

Our goal is to bring our Grade 1 band to compete at the prestigious NZ National Championships in March 2025, where we will face some of the best international pipe bands and showcase the exceptional talent in our community.

As an active Grade 1 pipe band in Australia, competing internationally is crucial for giving talented young players something to aspire to and lifting the overall standard of music in pipe bands across Australia.

We need your support to make our goal happen! Your tax-deductible donation of $2 or more will help cover essential costs such as travel, accommodation, entry fees, and equipment for our players. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to achieving our goal of competing at the 2025 New Zealand Championships and representing Australia on the global stage.

Position - Bass

Where are you from? - Goulburn, Australia

Previous bands - Canberra Burns Club, Shotts, Clan Gregor, Fife Police, most recently City of Edinburgh.

Occupation - Water Hygiene, Healthcare

Favourite band - Shotts under Mathieson/Kilpatrick

What made you join a pipe band? I figured I needed all the help with the Ladies i could get, so honestly, I joined for the uniform...

Did you know anyone in Uddingston before you joined? A few of the guys, but everyone has made me feel welcome since I joined a few months ago.

Favourite contest - Worlds

Useless piece of info about you? I once boxed a kangaroo in a cave (self-defense).

Other hobbies? My Cocker Spanial keeps me busy.

If you could have 5 at your table for dinner, who would it be? Attenborough, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Robin Williams & Neil Armstrong

Ideal roommate for an away trip? I snore like a bear, so I prefer to room by myself if that's not an option, anyone who won't do me in for keeping them awake all night

Worst possible roommate for an away trip? Anyone who snores worse then me!

What’s a typical week for you leading up to a major? Someone once said, Major week is like that Craig David song..." Went to the band on Monday, went to the band on Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, played on Saturday then on Sunday I did nowt because I was f***ed"
