MAGHERAGALL Pipe Band is five years old this
year and has been playing at parades, functions, concerts and
nursing homes for the past three years. Chairman William Leathem
said: "In the last few years the band has had many successful
events and challenges. We have played at various parades, social
functions, concerts, nursing homes and we have produced a CD.
"Last year we had the honour of taking part
in a parade in London which was a terrific morale boost for the
band, parading down Whitehall past the cenotaph and Downing
Street was an unforgettable experience. We have had great
support from the community and from Arts Council for Northern
Ireland and Awards for All. We would like to thank all for there
support."
The band would welcome new and experience
players. If anyone is interested in learning to play the
bagpipes or you have previous experience you will be made most
welcome.
The band practices on a Wednesday evening at
8.00pm in Lowquarter Orange Hall, Magheragall, Lisburn. For more
