The Imps Motorcycle Display stole the show at this years Edinburgh Tattoo. The
five week stay at army barracks in Edinburgh along with 1000 other performers
represented a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience for the team members.

The Imps
performed seven shows in six days of every week, punctuated by sightseeing. A
mini Imp on a full sized police motorcycle chasing a policeman on a ‘Monkey’
bike proved to be a real crowd pleaser. The team crew made this trip possible. It takes a
high degree of commitment from these unseen heroes to bring the show together.
The Tattoo is seen by more than 270,000 people live at the event and was seen by
more than 100 million aired on television on Saturday August 27th.
Roy Pratt MBE, the Team Leader, said “The
team were sensational. We were the focus of 70% of all Tattoo press coverage,
including Telegraph and Times coverage which was very encouraging. We have
already received invitations to appear in the Caribbean and The Ukraine in 2006
and the diary is filling ahead of the normal trend.”
