The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo draws together a host of creative talent from four continents as the showpiece event celebrates 'East Meets West'. The Scottish capital's ancient castle forms a spectacular backcloth for this remarkable and internationally acclaimed event, and BBC ALBA offers you a front-row seat. The show features a line-up of nearly 1,000 performers, including hundreds of musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers, as well as one of the world's most sensational percussion groups: Switzerland's Top Secret Drum Corps. The amazing line-up also includes the Shetland Fiddlers - Hjaltibonhoga and, from China, the Changxing Lotus Dragon Dance Folklore Group. Bill Innes narrates the event and the emphasis, as ever, will be on the music, movement and the colourful spectacle. Show less
