Auckland and Districts Pipe Band
One of New Zealand's premier pipe bands that has been at the top echelon of competition since 1929 and currently holds the New Zealand Championship title.
The band can cater to a great many events and occasions.
Solo pipers for weddings, funerals, birthday parties and recitals.
Minibands (3-6 pipers and 1-2 drummers) for promotional events, dances and concerts.
Full band for parades, sporting events, ceilidh’s and concerts.
The band can also provide Highland and Irish dancers as well as perform Haggis ceremonies.
The band has an extensive repertoire easily sufficient to perform a full length concert recital. They have experience performing with orchestra’s and brass bands at large concert venues. In addition to the traditional Scottish music many will recognize, there is a large repertoire of exciting jigs, reels, strathspeys, airs and waltzes. Anything they don’t normally play can be learnt in a very short space of time.
The band can also supply all the people needed for Haggis Ceremony - the full party is usually Piper, Reciter of the Ode, bearer of the Haggis, bearer of the Whisky, plus two sword bearers.
Ideal for: corporate function, private party, wedding, Scottish themed event, haggis ceremony, ceilidh, Celtic themed event, concert
Hi David,
Cameron, our Piper was a charming young man who provided exceptional service, mastering the Scottish tunes we had selected and playing them beautifully for my Mothers farewell. He even stayed around to show my young great nephews how the bag pipes worked after the event. I would highly recommend him. Such a dedicated young man.
Thank you.

Hi Robyn
I have to say Lex was the best solo bagpiper I have ever heard! He was also fantastic in the lead up to to the event, sending me tunes to listen to and helping suggest song choices. He brought many of us to tears and was so professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or your company to anyone.
Thanks for your help in making my Nana’s birthday so special.
Many Thanks,
Kaylene

Thank you for your email and your thoughts.
I would like to give some feedback that I am happy for your Company to use as a testimonial. We would like to let everyone know how professional your Company was to deal with and the follow up to ensure that the day went off without a hitch was greatly appreciated.
The Piper john was fantastic there were tears from all when these bag pipers played He was prompt to the venue and very friendly to deal with ensured that the programme and songs were to a high standard and even suggested to pay another tune for the down time.
I would be happy to recommend your Company to any customer going forward for the outstanding a grade service we received in this difficult time.
