Buckie And District Pipe Band <buckiepb>


The Buckie and District Pipe Band comes from the small fishing town of Buckie, in Moray, in the North East of Scotland. There are many members from other various towns in the surrounding area; from Fraserburgh to Portsoy to Elgin. The pipe band was founded in 1988 and is still going strong today. New recruits are always welcome in the ranks.

The Band has a practice every Thursday night in the Fishermans Hall in Buckie. If you are interested in learning the pipes, or you have prior experience playing the pipes, then you are more than welcome to come to our practices.

The Band attends many events throughout the local area almost every weekend during the summer months, as well as many other events during the rest of the year. These include local galas and fetes, charity events and of course, the annual Highland Games. The band is in regular attendance at the Dufftown, Aberlour, Nethy-Bridge and Grantown Highland Games.

    Thought I'd let you all know that we received a cheque from the co-op membership fund today for £750.00. So many thanks to them. It will go towards our waistcoats which hopefully we will now be able to get soon.
    Thank you also Carla for playing a tune, also Donna and Liam who came with me for support.

    See you all wednesday for the tombola

    well the lighter the better

    i think it was sapphire but the more it matches with other parts of the band the better also:P

    Hi Daniel

    That site is fab and our drums are only about £250. I dont know about the Bass though. I can see it being ok for Jim but Sandie had a special one for her as it was lighter. thats the only problem I can see. Unless they just get one Bass and keep the light one we already have. Only a suggestion.

    It would be nice to go for the royal blue as I think the Navy wouldnt go with our sticks, see what everyone else thinks. See you thursday.

    luv Daniel Doherty

    Fiona, Donna, Becca, Liam, Sandy and anyone else who is interested....you all know how excited i am/was/still am about getting new drums for the entire corp:D

    so after nethy games i managed to track down a site with all the drums on it but they were all american sites and shipping costs are sky high whe it comes to the u.s of a :P

    so i found this one site which seems to have everything we need and its located in britain:D Ihave print outs of everything and i'll give all drummers a copy on thursday;)

    if you have a chance to look at the site

    http://www.college-of-piping.co.uk/a...

    look and see if you want something else like different tenors (you get these weird 'hosbilt' ones....they look old fashioned but are supposed to be most popular and best sound:D

    and sandy look at the the bass drums......the two white ones are the 'lite series' but if any changes are wanted just post a comment or tell me at practise;)

    Daniel;)
