Maybole Pipe Band is the local Pipe and
Drum Band in Maybole. We have been around now since
the early 1920's, although some of our members are getting on in years none
of the original members are still with us.
The present members of the Band are of varying
ages and backgrounds but essentially committed to entertaining using the
Pipes and Drums in a traditional Scottish manner. We all joined at different
times, we are different ages but we blend well together and enjoy close
friendships throughout.

BRIDE Julie Connelly and groom Andrew Fulton put wedding
bands on each other's fingers on Saturday. But another band is almost as
important to them - and Maybole Pipe Band just couldn't be left out of
their big day! That's because Julie is a drummer and Andrew a piper in the
band. And their romance blossomed through a shared interest in traditional
Scots music. The band provided an escort for Julie from her home in
Maybole's Hutchison Street to the nearby West Kirk. The wedding ceremony
was conducted there by the Rev Fraser Aitken of St Columba Church in Ayr.
And Maybole Pipe Band played more tunes to celebrate the popular couple's
union. The wedding reception was held in the Brig o' Doon Hotel in
Alloway, before the couple jetted off on a Transatlantic honeymoon to Las
Vegas and Los Angeles. Andrew works for BAe Systems at Prestwick and Julie
is on the staff at the John Pollock Centre in Ayr. The couple will have
their home at Minishant - and will, of course, continue to be members of
Maybole Pipe Band. (from the Ayrshire Post. May 16th 2003) Click on
