Our charity teaches the art of playing pipes and drums to all ages but particularly young people which now has such a high demand with this art not being taught in our local authority schools and especially with the cuts that have also been made to music within the schools. Our band provides a fun and safe environment to learn with lessons and practices taking place in Gorebridge Church Hall, Gorebridge, Midlothian. The aim of our charity is to provide learning for all by eliminating financial barriers.
