Formed September 1998
Welcome to the Web Site of The Birmingham Irish Pipes and Drums. The Musical ethos of the Birmingham Irish Pipes and Drums is to bring a wide range of Irish bagpipe music to as large an audience as possible. We are a community band with members whose ages range from 6 to 80.
We play many events ranging from small parties to huge St Patricks’ Day Parades. Please enter our site and feel free to leave a comment at the end. We have just played the Birmingham St Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday 11th March with Sandwell and Brent (London St Patrick’s Day) Parades on Saturday 17th March. The Saints day itself. The Birmingham Parade was a great day, the sun shone and there were an estimated 85,000 people on the streets. Click HERE to see some great photos of the Birmingham Parade. The Sandwell and Brent parades were brilliant to play at and both had great crowds. Click Parade Week 2012 to see the pictures.
See our itinerary to see all the events coming up and watch out for more great photos from the Sandwell And Brent St Patrick’s Day Parades
