The pipe band was formed by Pipe Major Mark Jamieson supported by a select  group of like minded traditional musicians who believed that above all else, playing in a musical ensemble should be enjoyable and fun.  Starting out as Pocklington Pipes & Drums in January 2019, we soon realised that we needed to think a bit “bigger” as our members came from right across East Yorkshire and beyond.  We changed our name to East Riding Pipe Band in April 2021 in preparation for returning to post pandemic activities.

The band endeavours to maintain and open, honest and safe environment where all are equal and everyone is supported to fulfil their musical potential.  Hopefully with a laugh or two along the way.
