St George's Day 2015

On Sunday 26th April, the band once again led the St George's Day Parade in Chingford from Chingford Plains, up Station Road to the Church of St Peter and St Paul.

This is the 4th year the band have played for this event and it is one we really enjoy doing as it is in our local area.

The M&IT Industry Awards 2015

This year the band was asked to open the Meetings and Incentive Travel Industry Awards 2015, presented by ex-rugby player Matt Dawson. 

After welcoming guests arriving at the Battersea Evolution venue, we piped them into the awards hall where we gave a small performance.

To our delight, we were also the 'warm up' act to The Red Hot Chilli Pipers who took to the stage after us.

The evening was a great experience for the band who look forward to playing at more of these events in the future.
