Why hire an EFPB Solo Piper?

An EFPB solo piper brings the stirring and timeless sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes to your event, creating a memorable and moving atmosphere. With professional experience and a tailored repertoire, our pipers are perfect for enhancing weddings, funerals, celebrations, and ceremonies with the iconic and emotive sound of Scotland.

Are Bagpipes Hard to Play?

Not as hard as you might expect! As with any new skill, it can be tricky, to begin with, however, you will improve with perseverance.

I am a Kit Drummer; Can I join?

Certainly! Highland drumming is slightly different to kit drumming, however, you will probably pick it up quickly.

How much does it cost to join EFPB?

We ask a £20 per year membership fee, to cover the cost of renting the rehearsal hall each week, and that you buy your instrument. You can spend as much or as little as you like, though we usually recommend bagpipes that cost around £1000 and drums that cost around £500. If they are looked after well, they will outlive you!
