The Surrey Pipe Band evolved from the previous 'Surrey Highland Bagpipe Club', a group of pipers led by Roger Huth (previously a pipe major with the Scots Guards).

After a visit to the club by Cecil McCready, who has known and worked with Roger for many years and was then the lead drummer with the Irish Guards Pipes and Drums, the idea of forming a band was first mentioned.  This has now developed into the present day formation of the Surrey Pipe Band.

The Band is based in Woking, Surrey and meets at Courteney Free Church every Monday and Wednesday evening between 7.30pm and 10.00 pm.

At present we have 27 playing members with a further 5 pupils learning either the pipes or drums.

The band always aims to produce the highest quality of both sound and performance whenever they are together on a parade, an engagement or whilst playing at a practice.  The achievement of this aim has placed the band in great demand.

The band wears the Royal Stuart tartan and is one of the few civilian bands that still has a full dress uniform, which can be seen in the above picture.

Traditional Scottish and Irish tunes are incorporated into various sets comprising of marches, reels, jigs and other familiar tempos. Such a wide variety creates a full colourful display of both movement and sound, which is sure to stir the blood and set feet tapping.
