Ian was taught to play the pipes by his dad Bob Small. By the age of 10 he was a playing member of the City Of Hull Pipe Band. A few years later he was a founder member of the C.R.S. Pipe Band under the watchful eye of Pipe Major David Morrison.
At the age of 21 he became a sgt instructor in the Humberside A.C.F Band and was soon handed the roll of Pipe Major. The band played at some spectacular places including the Chelsea Pensioners, the Marines Music School in Deal and the Channel Tunnel to name just a few.
In 1991 he decided to form a competition band and with the help of a few fellow pipers and drummers the Kingstown Scottish Pipe Band was up and running. Ian was the original Pipe Major and still holds the position today.
