Members of the Paris Port Dover Pipe Band experienced the performance of a lifetime after being invited to play onstage with Sir Paul McCartney during his Got Back tour stop in Hamilton.
The special appearance happened Wednesday night and marked the first time many band members had ever performed at such a large-scale international event.
The opportunity placed local musicians alongside one of the most iconic artists in music history — an unforgettable moment for everyone involved.
In a statement, the band expressed deep gratitude:
“For many, it was their first time performing at such a high-profile event — truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We cannot thank Paul McCartney enough for giving the band this incredible opportunity, and we wish him every success for the rest of his tour.”
The performance adds another milestone to the band’s long history of community involvement, international travel, and celebrated musicianship.
