Pipe Band

Welcome to The City of York Pipe Band



The City of York Pipe Band has now completed its programme for 2024.

The Band will be practicing it`s new programme vigorously over the coming months before gearing up for another fantastic season in 2025, with some new tunes in the repertoire.

Two wonderful 6/8 marches, The Glendaruel Highlanders, (made famous by Andy Stewart who penned the words, Oh Campbelltown Loch I wish you were whisky) to the tune & The Atholl Highlanders have been included in our list of great tunes

Look out for us in town in May but before that we will be in Selby in April, where we will lead the Selby St Georges Day Parade.

All events are hyperlinked to a Google Map location.  Just click the event title.

Please come and enjoy some Scottish music & support us if you can. 

The Pipe band is constantly recruiting new members with or without experience in Piping or Drumming as FREE tuition will be given in either discipline.
If you think you would be interested in strutting your stuff in the band then please use the

 contact us form to get in touch.


The skirl of the pipes has been heard in York for over 40 years at the hands of our band since it's inauguration in 1979. The band was formed as a Piping Society, in Marygate, York, & after a while moved to Fulford, eventually occupying the Memorial Hall, Huntington, meeting every Wednesday between 7pm & 10pm.

Tuition is free and all are welcome, no experience necessary.

The band arranged and hosted a Scottish Tattoo in the Silver Ring at York Racecourse in June 2000, featuring multiple Pipe Bands, Silver Bands, Highland and Scottish country dancers.

Bands performed their own sets after the massed bands set the scene, coming together for a combined performance of Highland Cathedral.

It was a roaring success.

Rumour has it that there may be another Tattoo in the making, so watch this space.
