RESIDENTS, staff and guests at seven Scottish nursing homes have been treated to highly-charged live performances by Celtic rock band Red Hot Chilli Pipers as part of the celebrations to mark Care Home Open Week.
The outdoor events took place at two sites in Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian, and at a further home in Dunblane, which are all owned and operated by Randolph Hill Nursing Homes Group.
Managing director Peter McCormick said: “We were delighted to welcome Red Hot Chilli Pipers to play at all of our seven nursing homes. As you might expect, these were highly-spirited performances which our residents, staff, and invited guests thoroughly enjoyed.
“We are really pleased to have the band’s support during Care Home Open Week. It’s an ideal way to mark the occasion, which celebrates the important role of care homes in the communities where they operate.”
The performances are part of a whirlwind two-day tour by the band, covering Randolph Hill’s seven nursing home locations across Scotland to mark Care Home Open Week 2022.
Dubbed ‘the most famous bagpipe band on the planet,’ the Red Hot Chilli Pipers drew international attention after winning the BBC talent show When Will I Be Famous in 2007. The Scottish-based outfit now travels the globe playing concert tours as far afield as America, Malaysia, India and Saudi Arabia.
