Scotland the brave by Russian bagpipers?
Published on Monday, 10 February, 2014 at 14:05

With loads to report on for the Winter Olympics, here's just a snippet of quirky stories in our Sochi Winter Olympics in brief for Monday:

Brave start for men's curlers

(ADW) Bagpipers... from Moscow... heralded the start of the men's curling competition at the Ice Cube Curling Centre on Monday.

Competitors were marched in to the tune of Scotland the Brave with venue producer Kelly Brown welcoming the time-honoured tradition.

"The march in sets the tone," she said. "We were fortunate to find our pipers in Russia."

The City Pipes is a Moscow-based combination of two self-taught bagpipers and two drummers.

They have been together for 18 months and have gained wide popularity by infusing British rock with bagpipes.

"For Sochi, we have prepared traditional Scottish marches, very powerful tunes of battle, but we hope to have a chance to play songs from Deep Purple and the Beatles, as well as traditional Russian songs at the Games," said lead piper Yevgeny Lapekin.
