Bagpipe Concert: Papple Steading – 12th September 2026
Six years ago we held a piping concert starring Iain Speirs and Fred Morrison to raise funds for Morham Village Hall. The concert was sold out.
Iain and Fred have very different piping styles but they are undoubtedly two of the best pipers in the world. Together they give a spectacular piping experience spanning the full range of pipe music.
Iain and Fred have agreed to come back and give another concert, this time to raise funds for Garvald Village Hall’s much needed roof repairs.
The concert ‘Together’ will take place on Saturday 12th September at Papple Steading.
Full details will be available shortly.
We want to make it a wonderful day and to raise as much money as possible for Garvald Village Hall.
If you would like to know more, please email: TogetheratPapple@icloud.com
On Saturday 20th June from 2-4 pm bring your bike along to the Village hall and learn how to do some basic maintenance. Mark James from the Dunbar Bike hub will be there to share his expertise and diagnose that horrible grinding noise from your back wheel. The event is free and open to all. Ice cream cones will be available to buy and don’t forget to join in Le Grand Depart along Garvald Champs Elysees at 4 pm.
