City of Sheffield Pipe Band

The band, then known as the ‘Sheffield Pipe Band’, was established in 1908 under the leadership of Pipe Major George Urquhart, to promote the learning and playing of the pipes and drums in the Sheffield Area.
Over the years the band has survived two world wars and seen may changes in the city. Apart from a few short breaks for the war years and the odd financial difficulty, the band has now endured for over 100 years.
