Gallery

Welcome to our gallery of archive photographs spanning over a century of band history.

From founding figures Major William Hazley and Robert Mansfield, through decades as the Bradford Kilties and City of Bradford Pipe Band, these images trace our journey from bugle and drum recruitment band to the competing Highland pipe band of today.

We're always adding new images - check back for more recent performances and events.
