LifeParkes was born in Belfast on 29 January 1960.[1] He started playing in Raffrey Pipe Band at the age of 9, and received tuition from Sandy Cummings. After taking a break of a few months, he returned to the band in 1971, by which time Raffrey had merged with Field Marshal Montgomery to become Freymont, in Grade 3. In 1976 it was decided to reform the band as Field Marshal Montgomery owing to the balance of players in Freymont. The band achieved promotion to Grade 2 under the leadership of Ricky Newell, but in the middle of 1981 Newell left after a disagreement and Parkes became pipe major.[1][2] Field Marshal was promoted to Grade 1 at the end of 1985, won its first World Championship in 1992, and won every Major Championship in 1993.[3] Parkes suffered a stroke in March 2004, and Alastair Dunn led the band to victory at the European Championships in his absence, before Parkes returned to lead the band to victory at the World Championships in August.[4][5] He has said that as a result of the stroke he has to concentrate harder on his own playing in order to not make mistakes.[6] Under Parkes' leadership Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band has won 65 Major Championship titles {{as of|2016|lc=yes}}, and is the only pipe band in history to have won all five Championships in a year twice.[7] He has a Master of Science degree in Polymer Engineering and works for Bombardier Aerospace.[1] Parkes married his wife Ruth in 2000.[8][1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/Richard-Parkes-The-pipes-drums-Interview-C-Part-1/ |title=Richard Parkes: The pipes-drums Interview – Part 1 |publisher=pipesdrums.com |accessdate=20 August 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Parkes, Richard}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fmmpb.com/artists/pm-richard-parkes/ |title= Pipe Major Richard Parkes MBE, MSc |publisher=fmmpb.com |accessdate=20 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fmmpb.com/fmm-history/ |title=History |publisher=fmmpb.com |accessdate=21 December 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/Richard-Parkes-recovering-from-stroke/ |title=Richard Parkes recovering from stroke |date=31 March 2004 |publisher=pipesdrums.com |accessdate=20 December 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/annual-new-year-s-honours-3/ |title= 2004 New Year’s Honours |date=31 December 2004 |publisher=pipesdrums.com |accessdate=20 August 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/Richard-Parkes-The-pipes-drums-Interview-C-Part-3/|title=Richard Parkes: The pipes-drums Interview – Part 3 |publisher=pipesdrums.com |accessdate=21 December 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-23752408 |title= Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band wins ninth world championship |publisher=bbc.co.uk |date= 19 August 2013 |accessdate=21 December 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://atlantapipingfoundation.com/workshop_2015/RICHARDBIO2revised.pdf |format=PDF |title=Pipe Major Richard Parkes MBE |publisher=atlantapipingfoundation.com |accessdate=21 December 2016}} 5 : Great Highland bagpipe players|Living people|Musicians from Belfast|1960 births|Members of the Order of the British Empire |
