Torrevieja Pipes and Drums

 

Pipes and Drums.jpg

The Torrevieja Pipes and Drums was formed 4 years ago by 2 of the existing pipers and 1 of the drummers (minus a drum). Thanks to an article in the local press the numbers swelled. Now they have 6 pipers and 6 drummers with other members who join them when they are here from the UK.  The latest member to join is Mark who delights the spectators with his highland dancing display. They are becoming well know and are in great demand for burns suppers, St Patrick´s day, St Andrew´s day and New Year's Eve events. Many of the local towns on the Costa Blanca organize European Days and are delighted when the band agree to play for them. The local Royal British Legion Branches are also very pleased when the band supports their events. Some of the towns are now looking into the possibility of incorporating them in with their Moors and Christian parades and the band was highly delighted to lead a Christian group in the parade at Murcia last year.
If you would like to join the group as a player or learner ring Joan or Barry on 966712076.
