Whiteness Primary School played host to the Pipers’ Trail today (18/06/08) when it joined forces with the Sodeya drum troupe.

Sodeya have been giving masterclasses to primary pupils who have spent around a year learning on how to play the drums from Shetland local woman Joy Duncan as part of the Youth Music Initiative.

The Piper’ Trail bumped into Sodeya when they were giving an evening performance in Lerwick and they decided to join up to give the pupils of Whiteness school something special.

Commenting on the performance Joy said: “The children loved it! They were all up dancing to what was a very special performance of Scottish Pipes and Drums and African Drum Music.”
