Tickets for The Red Hot Chilli Pipers in Orkney have almost sold out, within days of the gig announcement.

Tickets to see one of Scotland’s most in demand bands this December have almost gone, according to promoters, who say they have been bowled over by the reponse so far.

Over 700 tickets sold within the first hour of Wednesday’s announcement that the Red Hot Chilli Pipers’ will perform in the Pickaquoy Centre, on December 16.

A limited number of tickets remain, and as of today, will only be available in Orkney.

Nick Firth from Scottish Folk Promotions said: “There will be no more online sales after today — we are down to the last lot of tickets, which will be available exclusively from Sinclair Office Supplies in Kirkwall.We thought we might sell a few on the first day of the announcement, but we have been completely overwhelmed by the demand.”
