Gung Haggis Fat Choy, Seattle; an inter-cultural mash-up event in Seattle on February 24th celebrating Robbie Burns Day and Chinese New Year is a week away, but the event is nearly sold out, even though the seating was expanded to 340!
The entertainment at the event includes Northwest Junior Pipe Band, “Gung Haggis Rap Choy” (Robbie Burns Address to the Haggis performed as a Rap), Traditional Chinese orchestral music by Washington Chinese Youth Orchestra, Don Scobie; bagpiper, Scottish Fiddling, Sing Alongs, Chinese Dancers, and some surprises! Sure to be a memorable evening, make sure to plan ahead and purchase tickets early next year.
See more information on the event, sponsored by Bill McFadden and the Seattle Caledonian/St. Andrews Society here>>. See news coverage of the event here>> and in the Seattle Times “Best Bets for the Weekend” here>>.
The event is a fundraiser for Northwest Junior Pipe Band and the Washington Chinese Youth Orchestra. Northwest Junior Pipe Band is in the final stretch of their fundraising to travel to the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland this August. NWJPB is the first youth band from Washington State to go to Scotland since 1969.
