In recent years the band has gone through a radical change. The band was a serious competing band, with previous awards including Grade 4 World Champions. However, a change of Pipe Major along with the departure of the drum corp meant that the band were down to a handful of pipers and two drummers. The numbers have since increased due to in-house tutoring, along with performing in public.
We have a hard work ethos and believe that practice will reap its rewards, along with the enjoyment that goes with it. These principles have built up the band again and we are very proud to say that we now have a playing pool of 25. We also play an active part in the community, promoting piping and drumming workshops & donating a lot of time to other charities for fund raising.
If you are interested in learning the pipes or drums or would like to book the band to play at an event please contact Christine on the above telephone numbers to find out more.
