Audiences can expect a blend of highland music and a medley of well-known Christmas carols and seasonal music, including evergreen bagpipe favourites such as Highland Cathedral and Auld Lang Syne. There will also be some more contemporary music in the mix – such as John Farnham’s The Voice; The Gael from Last of the Mohicans and Leonard Cohen’s Halleluiah.
