Book Stockbridge Pipe Band

Stockbridge Pipe Band performing at a wedding

Stockbridge Pipe Band has extensive experience across all aspects of pipe band entertainment - from weddings and corporate hospitality to gala days, sporting fixtures, charity events and Beatings Retreat.

Our full pipe band comprises at least 18 musicians - ten pipers, one bass drummer, three tenor drummers and four side drummers - and on most occasions we exceed these numbers, fielding up to 30 musicians. We can lead your parade anywhere in Edinburgh and across the Lothian and Fife area.

For more intimate occasions, we offer mini bands of 8 to 12 musicians or a solo piper - perfect for wedding receptions, dinners, and private events. A Beat the Retreat is also a wonderful way to round off a corporate evening or wedding day in style.

With three bands' worth of music, our repertoire is constantly evolving. As well as selecting new MSR, Medley and MAP sets each year, we have a broad selection of marches in 3/4, 4/4, 9/8 and 6/8. For corporate and wedding engagements we have dedicated sets and can tailor our programme to include specific requests.

FAQs

Do I need experience to join?
Not at all. Our Development Band is specifically for beginners. Whether you've never played a note or are returning to music after a break, we'll help you learn at your own pace in a welcoming environment.
Is there an age limit for joining?
There is no upper age limit. We actively encourage young people to join - youth membership is a priority for us. Junior members (under 18) are very welcome and we work to keep costs affordable for families.
How much does membership cost?
We keep membership costs as low as possible because our mission is to make piping and drumming accessible to everyone. Contact us for current rates - we can also discuss bursaries and payment plans where needed.
Do you provide instruments?
Pipes are typically owned by individual members, but we may be able to provide drums for new members. Talk to us when you enquire and we'll do our best to help you get started.
How far in advance should I book the band?
We recommend enquiring as early as possible - particularly for summer weddings and events, as our competition season keeps us busy from May to August. However, we'll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests if dates are available.
Do you travel outside Edinburgh?
Yes - we perform across Scotland and can travel further for the right event. Travel costs may apply for events outside the Edinburgh area. Contact us to discuss.
Can I request specific tunes?
Absolutely. For weddings and private events, we'll discuss your preferences and do our best to include tunes that are meaningful to you. Let us know when you make your booking enquiry.
