25 Years of Musical Enjoyment

On Saturday, 9 September the entire band played at the 25th Anniversary of African Skye at the Jeppe High School for Boys Innovation Centre.

The function was attended by current members, past members and a variety of people who have been involved in the band since its inception. The band is very proud to be able to celebrate this milestone anniversary.

LGBTQ+ Pride Parade

(Saturday, 05 October 2024)

We were invited to participate in the Pretoria LGBTQ+ Pride Parade once again this year, a street parade for Pride, a vibrant and colourful celebration of LGBTQ+ rights, love, and diversity. 

The march was filled with banners, flags (especially the rainbow Pride flag), and participants in creative costumes, as well as floats, motorbikes, and of course, the African Skye Pipe Band. We led the parade and we hope that all the participants enjoyed the day!
