Scottish Pipe Band
The signature KLPD sound: Great Highland bagpipes and Scottish drums, in full Highland dress. Powerful, ceremonial and instantly recognisable.
In plain English
What is a pipe band?
Bagpipers and drummers playing together as one unit — usually marching in, then performing in formation.
It's louder and more ceremonial than a brass band, and the most recognisable sound for a grand entrance. Ideal when you want everyone in the room to stop and turn.

FAQ
Pipe band questions
Is a pipe band too loud for an indoor ballroom?
In practice, no — guests usually find it comfortably loud rather than overwhelming. In a smaller room with a bigger band, we simply keep a little distance from the audience so it stays enjoyable for everyone.
Can you play Malaysian, Chinese or Indian songs?
Yes. Alongside traditional Scottish tunes we play English, Malaysian, Chinese and Indian music — and song requests are welcome.
How much space does the band need?
Not much — any reasonable space works. Our players are used to adjusting their formation to fit the room, stage or aisle on the day.
Can we choose the number of players?
Yes — from a solo piper or small group up to the full band. Tell us your venue and budget and we'll recommend a line-up.
