Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. Gear up for St. Patrick's Day with a blazing nine-piece ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers - who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between. The band's achievements have reached incredible heights with their groundbreaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call "Bagrock."

Since walking away with the top prize on the U.K.'s TV talent show "When Will I Be Famous" in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, The Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon, taking their Signature Sound to the masses with their unique and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademarked sound includes traditional pipe tunes - like "The Flowers of Scotland," "The Hills of Argyll," and "Amazing Grace" (done Chilli-style, of course!) - and contemporary anthems like Queen's "We Will Rock You," "Clocks" by Coldplay, "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol, "Let Me Entertain You" by Robbie Williams, and a fantastic rock medley of "Deep Purple," "Smoke on the Water," and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."

With three highly successful albums already under their belts, the band has just released its fourth titled "Music For The Kilted Generation." Their previous live album and DVD "BLAST Live!" have already gone triple platinum in Scotland plus their second album "Bagrock To The Masses" received platinum in Scotland and silver status in the UK.

From huge festivals and concerts to top corporate and A-list celebrity clients, the Chillis have been playing to packed houses and standing ovations night after night.

PTPA has produced more performances and welcomed more patrons than ever before during its 2018 season.
