To mark the centenary of the Ulster Memorial Tower on Friday 19 November, the combined bands of the Royal Irish Regiment Bugles, Pipes and Drums and Regimental Band, and the Band of the Irish Defence Forces’ 2nd Brigade played a concert at Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebières, Albert, France. Conducted by WO1 Richard Douglas MBE, Royal Irish Regiment and Capt. Tom Kelly, 2nd Brigade, guests were treated to a lively and solemn selection of Irish tunes, regimental marches and Great War era music.
March Militaire, Gael Force, Path to Peace, Star of County Down, Keep the Home Fires Burning, Regimental March of the Royal Irish Rifles, and Fáinne Geal An Lae, are just a few of the tunes that enchanted the audience. The mezzo-soprano and alto Emma Brown performed a beautiful recital of Danny Boy. In Irish tradition the pipes were sounded for the grande finale and the Pipes and Drums marched through the Basilique and up the streets of Albert to the regimental march Killaloe.
