About.
The Mackay & District Pipe Band has been bringing the rich sound of the pipes & drums to the people of the Mackay region since 1926. In honour of the founder of its home city, John Mackay, the Band proudly wears the crest and ancient tartan of Clan Mackay.
The band pronounces its name in the correct Scottish fashion: Mackay rhymes with sky, and not with day – the Pipe Major says so, and everyone knows the Pipe Major is always right.
The members of the Band are volunteers who give their time freely.
