The Gordon Forrest Memorial Recital 2021
This recital went live on Sunday 25th September 2021. The goal set for each entrant was "to entertain their audience". The aim was give each entrant free rein to be as creative as they wanted to be, both musically and visually.

There were only two rules for recitalists:

1. Total performance time allowed (including dialogue) was 3-20 minutes.
2. The main instrument in each performance must be GHB, Scottish Smallpipes or Electronic Chanter.
