About This Piper

A Pipe Band, based in Solihull in central England. The Band was formed in 1962 when it evolved from an established Scout Drum and Bugle Band to specialise in the Great Highland Bagpipe. We have maintained our links with the Scout movement, and to this day are a section of First Scout Group. We are members of the Midlands branch of the RSPBA.

We perform at anything from the smallest private events to the largest public functions. From weddings to carnivals. From "surprise" parties to televised international sporting events. We are regularly invited back for repeat bookings, having fulfilled some engagements every year for more than ten years. On many occasions we have undertaken overseas bookings, spending long weekends in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany.

We charge fees to cover the costs of running the band, and of travelling to each event. Please also bear in mind that our members are volunteers with commitments to their families, homes, and employers. We strive to achieve a balance of bookings in our local area, across the UK, and overseas. It is impossible for us to undertake every booking enquiry that we receive, so be sure to contact us with plenty of notice.
