Bergen Pipes & Drums

The band expanded quickly, receiving members from many nationalities, including Norwegian! In November 2009 the band restructured into two bands. The band maintaining its association with the Bergen Scottish Society was renamed Bergen Pipes and Drums. The pipe band is a regular feature at Bergen Scottish Society ceilidhs and Burns' Suppers, the 17th of May celebrations in Bergen and many other events around Bergen.  Bookings can be ordered via their website or by making direct contact.  See the More Information section below.
