About Us

We formed as a society on 28th January 2008 with 5 playing pipers, all of us knew each other and had performed with each other at various venues both in England and France and so had a selection of music common to all of us.

The band currently consists of seven playing pipers, one learner and a Highland dancer.

Band practice takes place on a Friday evening at Canewdon church and Sunday afternoon at Club Riga next to the cricketers pub in Westcliff.


The band wears the MacFarlane tartan and clan crest badge which Clan MacFarlane gave permission for and to whom we will give regular updates to include in their quarterly magazine.

The uniform worn is usually described as Highland day dress, see below.

The tartan is ancient MacFarlane.
