The Manchester Phoenix Pipe Band was formed in late 2011 as a successor to the Greater Manchester Pipe Band which has been a feature on the Manchester Pipe Band scene since 2004. Everybody involved in the early stages of the band worked extremely hard to get things up and running and have continued with the hardwork to keep the band going. The band are now wearing the Earl of St Andrews tartan.

We are a competition focused band and compete at most of the major pipe band competitions including The British, Scottish, English and World Championships as well as minor competitions throughout the UK. In 2018 and again in 2019 we won the All England Championship which was held at Chatsworth Country Fair.

We are available for any event including parades, carnivals, parties, corporate dinners, weddings and any other occasion. We can turn out as a full band of pipes and drums, a mini band or a solo piper.

We are a welcoming, encouraging and friendly band. If you are a piper or drummer and thinking of joining, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We practice Mondays and Thursdays in Manchester. We also welcome beginner pipers and drummers of all ages and backgrounds and offer free tuition. Beginners are welcome to stay and listen to the band practice after their lesson.

As well as taking our piping and drumming seriously, we believe a pipe band should also be about having lots of fun and everybody getting along. You'll undoubtedly enhance your social life and make lots of friends. We consider ourselves a family band and many of our members involve their famlies in the bands social events and competitions. All the events we play at make great family days out.
