Millport Pipe Band was formed in October 1962 from various existing groups including the local 1st Millport Company Boys' Brigade pipe band.

It is self-funded and exists for the enjoyment of its members, the small local community and tourists visiting the holiday island.

The band plays at many engagements over the year, with the months of April till September being the busiest. They have played at a diverse range of events from royal visits to TV programmes and some very obscure things in between.

The band provides free tuition for anyone interested in learning to play pipes or drums, and with a membership ranging in age from ten to seventy it is truly a family and community-based organisation.

Main duties include playing for the entertainment of visitors to Millport and supporting other local organisations at their events.
