KRIS Coyle claimed the top spot in the Arches Invitational solo piping event in Randalstown. Eleven of the best solo players in the country took part in this year's festival. The Arches Festival committee deserve credit for recognising the impact that such an event could have. Already the solo pipers have been invited back for the 2014 Festival. Completing the top five behind Kris were: 2: Ashley McMichael; 3: Scott Barr; 4: Ross Hume; 5: Alastair Donaghy.
