The recent Suffolk Robin Hood Game & Country Show gave the band an opportunity to accompany its performance with a new marketing stall to recruit new members and generate interest.

Steve Jones pictured with the new band marquee, banner and stand mans the stall with “help” whilst the rest of the band go scouting for the refreshment tent……….

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 by emailing gpbpipey@hotmail.com or calling Stephen Jones on 01284 728790.
