Announcement:
Formed in 1979, the Glenmoriston Pipe Band is a volunteer pipe band based in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk. The band performs at various functions both throughout East Anglia and internationally having been represented at the Basel Tattoo in Switzerland, Operation Market Garden commemorations in the Netherlands and Fulda Tattoo in Germany in recent years.
The band competes in national pipe band competitions and over the past year has had a busy time building to a standard to which we are in the position to compete in many more competitions locally and far afield such as Scotland. The band offers free tuition and uniforms for band members. The band’s tartan is Modern Grant after the band’s original sponsor Iain Grant of Glenmoriston Old Farm Whisky. For more information about the band please contact the Pipe Major, Stephen Jones via email on gpbpipey@hotmail.com or telephone 01284 728790.
Recruitment
New members required! The band membership is healthy but the band is looking to grow its numbers, so if you are a piper or a drummer, or would like to learn then why not come along and meet us at one of our practices. There is no limit to the number of players we can have. If you are interested in joining the band or even supporting the band as a non playing member then please get in touch.
Where else can you get FREE music lessons?

Event News
The band performs about 12 to 15 times per year at various locations throughout East Anglia. Some of our appearances are regular such as Remembrance Sunday in Bury St Edmunds which is where the band is based but we also busk informally at least twice a year in the town also. We usually perform at carnivals and parades but are happy to play at most events.
