Edinburgh Military Tattoo

From the BBC:

“Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo back with a bang after three years”





The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has made a spectacular return after a three-year break. The 2022 show titled Voices features traditional military acts as well as more than 800 dancers and musicians. It includes international performances from Mexico, the United States, Switzerland and New Zealand. The event has been held on the Edinburgh Castle esplanade since 1950, but has not featured since 2019 due to the pandemic. Organisers have said this year's Tattoo, which will run until 27 August, "draws inspiration from people around the globe". The event includes the traditional Massed Pipes and Drums along with dancers, Tattoo Fiddlers, and musicians from UK Military Regiments. More than 100 performers from the Banda Monumental de Mexico have also returned for the event.

 ^ When I lived in Germany we drove through Belgium, took a ferry to the UK, drove through England and up to Scotland and stayed at an RV Park (which the Brits call a Caravan Park) with a rented British RV and went to The Edinburgh Military Tattoo that year - it was really good.

I have seen ones since on the Internet and would like to go back. ^
