About the SPSL
The SPSL was
established in 1932 as a charity to promote the Great Highland Bagpipe
in the London region. We run one of the
UK's top bagpipe competitions, The Bratach Gorm. We
also hold regular
classes and recitals for those with a passion for piping. Please take
your time looking
through our site, as well as the latest SPSL news, you'll
find
much more to interest you, including articles, photos and sound files.

Why should I join the SPSL?
We believe
that
piping is
something that can be immensely rewarding, both to play and to hear,
and that the best way to do so is in the company of other pipers. If
you are a
London
based piper, or are learning, or just have an interest in piping, for a
mere
£20 a year
we can offer a monthly gathering/recital, tuition, advice on bagpipe
set up, the chance to enter our annual
Member's Comp and
to be part of the
Bratach
Gorm, the
London
event. Past recitals for member's have included performer's such as
John MacDonald of Inverness, Willie Ross, Bob Brown, Bob Nicol, Donald
MacLeod, Murray Henderson, Seumas MacNeill, Gordon Duncan,
Robert Wallace,
Willie McCallum, Gavin Stoddart, Gordon Walker, Chris Armstrong,
and
Jim McGillivary.
