The Piper Jones Band Headlining 2025
We're excited to announce The Piper Jones Band will be headlining our 2025 Festival! This exciting Celtic band has one mission: to bring spirited, magical dance tunes and songs to everyone - from Celtic music veterans to those hearing it for the first time.
The Piper Jones Band is a lyrical, high energy trio based on the moving and beautiful sounds of the Highland bagpipes, accompanied by unique percussive chords from the bouzouki and inspired drums
