CAPE TOWN HIGHLANDERS: SWEET SOUND BRINGS JOY
Pipers cheer up staff NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
M
edical staff at hospitals across Cape Town are experiencing a change of scenery when their shifts change – in the form of bagpipes. Members of the Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band Association have started playing at different hospitals to pay tribute to those frontline workers battling the Covid-19 pandemic. Mike Taljaard, the band officer of the asso-
ciation, who lives in Panorama, says their first hospital concert took place last week at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt hospital in Bellville. A total of 14 of the 32 members of the band took to the streets in front of the hospital, playing old bagpipe band favourites like Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace. Staff of the hospital and passers-by gathered in front of the building and took videos, while others stood in windows or the raised staff parking area, looking down. Taljaard says a highlight was when an au-
diologist came to speak to them, amazed to hear a band of pipers and drummers playing together. “And it’s nice when people clap hands.” Louis Leipoldt was their first hospital of choice, because of one the members’ wives working there. Once they got the all-clear to play there, they started contacting other hospitals in the area. They played from 18:30 to 19:15, as this is when the shifts change and new personnel take over. The group printed a special drum cover
which says “Supporting Frontline Workers,” especially for their hospitals project. According to Taljaard they started the project in part because they cannot perform anymore, as well as a way of giving back to those doing so much for the ordinary citizen. They have a band member who is a doctor, family members who are doctors or who work at hospitals and some of their members have had the virus themselves. Yesterday they played at Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands. V To page 4.
