Madonna Re-Invention Tour
I've been looking for a video of Lorne Cousin with Madonna on her Re-Invention Tour for awhile and I just stumbled upon it by accident.
Cousin is an accomplished solo piper and regularly competes in major piping competitions across Scotland. In '88 he won at the Cowal Highland Gathering (very prestigious). Lorne Cousin was hand-picked by Madonna for the tour after she had heard him play at Stella McCartney's wedding in Rothesay, Scotland. He was featured during the tour in pretty weird ways but this is probably the only serious mainstream use of bagpipes on tour so it's all good.
