| Greater Manchester County Fire Service Pipe Band has been a feature on the English pipe band scene since City of Manchester Pipe Band took on a new name in 1998, however the origins of the band go back much further than that.
The band started life as a church band in Salford called St.Sebastian's Pipe Band. After twenty one years in existence this band disbanded in November 1971. After a couple of months the bandsmen reformed, and renamed the band City of Manchester Pipe Band which lasted for twenty six years, until, in answer to a request from us for sponsorship, the Greater Manchester County Fire Service offered us new practice premises and help with transport. In return for this we became Greater Manchester County Fire Service Pipe Band.
The band has recently grown and for the first time in its history and attended all Major Championships in 2007!!
