About the Band

Manorcunningham Pipe Band is based in the village of Manorcunningham, County Donegal, in East Donegal. The band was formed in 1935 and, apart from the Second World War years, has remained active ever since. (ipba.ie)

The band began competing in the 1980s, starting in Grade 4, and gradually worked its way up the ranks. Since 2012, Manorcunningham has competed in Grade 2, making it one of Donegal’s higher-profile competitive pipe bands. Its membership has drawn players from across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and the United States. (ipba.ie)

After a year away from competition in 2016, the band returned strongly in 2017, collecting 41 trophies during a highly successful Grade 2 season. (pipingpress.com)

Today, Manorcunningham Pipe Band remains active in local and international competitions, while also taking part in parades and community events throughout Ireland.
