Govan Community Pipe Band began as the “Wee Govan Pipers”, a teaching project launched in 2013 within Govan schools to encourage young people to learn piping and drumming. What started as a local educational initiative quickly grew into a competitive band, making its debut at the 2016 World Pipe Band Championships — a first taste of the success that lay ahead.
Today, the band is made up of dedicated musicians from Govan and across the wider Glasgow area. Through hard work, community spirit, and a passion for traditional Scottish music, the Govan Community Pipe Band has achieved significant success in recent years and continues to build on its strong foundation with pride and determination.
Looking ahead, Govan Community Pipe Band is excited for the future and aims to grow from strength to strength. They are always on the lookout for new members to join their friendly, committed, and talented team — whether you're an experienced player or just starting out, you'll find a warm welcome at Govan Community Pipe Band.
