TANNASG PIPE BAND -Presentation

The band has about 20 members and meets twice a month for practice, starting with practice chanters and pads before moving on to pipes and drums.

We focus on standard tunes so everyone can join in. Social activities are equally valued; we hold monthly pub nights at various pubs in Stockholm, where members bring various instruments for informal music sessions.

We also host a summer and a Christmas party each year.

We perform primarily because we enjoy playing together as a Pipeband; you can find more details about that in the SHOW section.

Although our band includes many members with long-standing traditions in piping and drumming, we are always open to new developments.

For example, in 2020, we switched our tartan from “Black Watch”—which has been worn by all Bands in Stockholm since 1968 (except for Stockholm Caledonian Pipe Band between 1976 and 1995)—to “MacDonald Modern”.

You can read more about why we made this change under the HISTORY section.

We welcome new pipers and drummers, with a particular focus on experienced players who have previously performed with bands descended from the original group founded by Per Colliander in 1968, but we also have tuition for beginners.
