PIPING HOT STUFF
Feb 26 2007 By Kevin Turner
BAGPIPE rockers The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are set to leave their day jobs after winning a prime-time TV talent contest.
The Glasgow band scooped £10,000 on Saturday night when they triumphed in an episode of BBC1 show When Will I Be Famous?
While the boys were on air, their website was flooded with 120 offers of work.
And band member Willie Armstrong hopes the show has given them the boost they need to make it as full-time musicians.
Willie, 42, a firefighter, said yesterday: "It's our dream to go full-time and it's what we've been working for.
"We've been offered a coastto- coast American tour with a hotel chain on the back of Saturday's show.
"Now, we're just going to see how it goes. We'll have to take stock, weigh up all the offers and decide how the Chilli Pipers will go forward."
The Chilli Pipers have been together five years and have played all over the world, but Saturday's win could give them their big break.
Willie said it was "amazing" to take top prize in the variety show, hosted by Graham Norton. He added: "We enjoyed ourselves and I think that came across.
"We went back to the hotel, put £1000 of our prize behind the bar, and stayed up drinking until 3am with our families."
