Cork Pipers’ Club was founded in 1898 and is the oldest pipers club in the world.  We hold regular classes in the Wilton SMA Hall starting in January and September and as well as our club tionól.  If you are a beginner in need of a practice set, we have a limited number of loan sets which may need to be shared depending on demand.

This year’s Tionól took place on April 28 and 29 at the Wilton SMA Hall.  Rosaleen O’Leary and Jimmy Morrison took the pipe classes and Dave Hegarty oversaw the reed-making with his usual expertise and patience.  Thank you to all who attended and of course to our tutors for passing on some lovely tunes.

Cork Pipers Club are also proud to announce that we have launched a CD featuring current and past members and associates of the club during the Tionól weekend.  For those of you who want to buy the CD please email us at donal at corkpipersclub dot com.
