Les Lannom-Former Official Bagpiper for the Los Angeles Chapter of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society & Former Pipe Major for the City of Glendale Pipe Band
Les' first instrument was the accordion. After several years of playing this under rated instrument he found another musical calling. The trumpet. Such was his proficiency with the trumpet that he earned the John Phillips Souza award.
He is currently working on a small collection of old folk tunes and hopes to have a CD of these classics in the near future.
Les had always been a fan of old Irish, Scotish and English music, and, at the ripe old age of 38, he bought his first set of Bagpipes.
Les is available throughout the Southern Illinois area and surrounding counties.
