23.01.2022 Hi there all, this is my first offering, prompted by the DHHS non-allowance of pipers to practice together in Victoria. We should all be aware that we play th...e WORLD'S ONLY COVID19 SAFE WIND INSTRUMENT....THINK...Pipers never exhale into the atmosphere, they blow into a bag through a closed tube & water trap...the air passes thru a drying canister into the drones where it passes thru 2 or 3 expansion chambers dropping residual moisture & exiting the drones dry & at very low pressure (no micro-droplets)...Similarly, air can be filtered to the chanter, allowing minimal moisture for the cane reed, & exiting thru a conical bore (which progressively reduces the air pressure & it's fluid content) in a downward direction (minimal mini-droplets). Covid19 safe ? See more

20.01.2022 Port Macquarie Hastings Pipes & Drums on Sunday afternoon looking remarkably fresh after three outdoor gigs in Wauchope. Thank you one and all. We were joined on the day by Joanna Buchan, a World champion highland dancer. Jo has only been in Oz a few weeks but is keen to learn drumming to add to her talents.

20.01.2022 At last, refurbishment of our vintage Caledonian Sound Shell Bass with Drum Sgt. Chris Middlemiss taking care f the final tuning. Special thanks to Brian Stringer for all his help

19.01.2022 Sunday 18 October 2020. Members of the Port Macquarie Hastings Pipes & Drums will be entertaining residents of Wintergarden at Garden Village PMQ. Commencing at 11.00am it is anticipated that will play for around an hour.... The performance will take place on the Garden Village site but the spot is adjacent to Hennessy Park if anyone was happy just to listen.

13.01.2022 BAND CONCERTS - WAUCHOPE - 11 OCTOBER 2020 The Band turned out yesterday to provide some entertainment for residents at the two Bundaleer establishments yesterday morning and afternoon which were very well received. It also provided the very rare opportunity for the members to enjoy a lunch together in the Bistro at the Hastings Hotel Wauchope... Fabulous food and friendly and efficient staff. Thanks, Tim.
