Bergen Pipeband was originally formed in September 2005 following the chance meeting of a British and a Danish piper.
In November 2009 the band changed its name to Bergen Pipes & Drums. The pipe band is a regular feature at Bergen Scottish Society ceilidhs and Burns' Suppers, the 17th of May celebrations in Bergen and many other events.
The pipe band also plays at high profile events like the 2008 Tall Ships Race in Bergen and the Pillaguri festival in Otta, as well as featuring on national and local television and radio.
