Tom has always liked the sound of the
pipes, so when he was told by his wife Gwen that there was a
pipe band playing in the next village he was on his bike to
take a look. That was back in 1992. He was delighted when asked
if he would like to come along to band practice and took the
offer up.
Tom started to learn the pipes, something he never expected to
do. A couple of years later the band required a treasurer and
Tom volunteered to take up the post. He still has the roll to
this day.
While with the band Tom has attended many bookings including
weddings at Alerton Castle and Harewood House. Tom also played
his pipes while he walked the 3 Peaks for charity.
