Morag Roarty

Tenor Drummer

Morag started learning the tenor drum at the age of 11 with Gleneagles Strathearn Pipe Band, where she competed for seven years and won best bass section in Grade 3 at the Cowal Championships. She also went on to the Vale, playing bass in Grade 3 under the leadership of Pipe Major Sharon Kelly and Lead Drummer John Moneagle, where she won the Worlds and became a Champion of Champions in Grade 3. She spent another year playing bass in Grade 2 then she progressed to the Grade 1 band playing tenor drum. Morag played tenor for six years with the Grade 1 band under Paul Turner and Ian Sinclair. The bass sections won the best bass section numerous times at different championships. It was during these years that she met Jock. Jock and Morag are very excited about making the move to Perth to play with WAPOL and hope that their previous G1 experience can help progress the development of the band. They are taking a trip back to Scotland in September to get married.
