The Inveraray and District Pipe Band is the area's first pipe band in 70 years and was set up by local piper Stuart Liddell, who hit on the idea whilst giving weekly bagpipe lessons in local schools. The band is registered with the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, takes part in competitions and is regularly asked to play at local community and charity events. Being in the band teaches the children discipline and teamwork, and about Scottish history and culture.
Learners for piping, snare, bass and tenor drumming are all welcome on Tuesday nights from 5:30pm - 8pm.
Practice Chanters, Drum Sticks and Practice Pads are all available for sale from the band.
Music and learning materials will be provided for all learners.
Lessons will cost a minimal £2.50
To join the IDPB organisation please contact the band secretary for more details at bandsecretary@idpb.co.uk
