We are incredibly proud to share a brilliant success story from our National Piping Centre instrument loan scheme! 🎶

After completing an impressive 8-week tour with the Peace Proms Cross Border Orchestra, young piper Joel transitioned to the solo competitive stage with outstanding results:

🏅 1st Place (Novice Pipes) at the MacDonald Memorial Pipe Band Juvenile Solos.
🏅 Ulster Champion (Novice Pipes) at the Ulster Piping & Drumming Championships 2026.

Access to quality instruments changes lives and builds the next generation of traditional musicians. Congratulations to Joel!
