Longframlington Pipers is a group of keen amateur players of the Northumbrian Smallpipes. We started up in April 2007, after a small number of us had been meeting informally on Wednesday afternoons in the village of Longframlington, Northumberland. So far as we know, we are the only daytime group meeting in the region.
What do we do?
We play a mixed repertoire of music, from Northumberland and the North East of England, as well as tunes from Scotland, Ireland and other parts of the musical world. Our main purpose is to play for pleasure, as well as to improve our playing standards. Now and again we perform publicly in the surrounding area.
Who is it for?
We welcome all levels of Northumbrian Smallpipes players at our meetings, whether beginner, recent starter, or experienced player. We also welcome anyone who wants to come along and join in with us on another instrument, to listen or maybe to learn about the instrument and its music.
When do we meet?
Our meetings are every Wednesday at 13:30, for about 2 hours. Any changes will be listed on our "News and Events" Page.
Where do we meet?
We now meet at the Memorial Hall, Rothbury Road, Longframlington, Northumberland, NE65 8AH. See map here.
