Bob learnt to play the pipes in 1968 when he joined the City Of Hull Pipe Band. He was one of the original members of the first pipe band in Hull. About nine years later he helped to form the CRS Pipe Band, which played in competitions around England and at many venues around Yorkshire.
He was then approached by the Humberside Army Cadet Force to teach the bagpipes to cadets and held the rank of sgt Major, and the appointment of Pipe Major. After handing the Pipe Majors roll to his son Ian , he was to hold the rank of Under Officer. While with the ACF he played at some memorable places such as Dover Castle, Chelsea Pensioners and the Marines School Of Music.
In 1991, he helped to form the Kingstown Scottish Pipe Band and took on the job of teaching all new pipers, a roll he still does today. In addition to attending band practice twice weekly, he now also teaches at The Hub in the seaside town of Withernsea.
