(see News page for all stories)Carols at the Institute: Hear what we did! (some of it)
11 December 2024: some of us met in the morning to sing Christmas carols, including Sheffield carol arrangements with instrumental "symphonies". This was the first time, and made up for the fact that the "Baccappella" group is no longer performing in the streets to raise charity funds. See "a href="news.php#carols2024">News Page for details and sound recordings.50 Glorious Years!
No, the club's even older than that, but on 1 November 2024 we celebrated 50 years of Bacca Pipes under Jenny Scott's leadership. See News Page to find out what happened, and History for highlights of those 50 years and more.

Слава Україні! Donating for Ukraine
The Keighley Ukrainian Club, which was Bacca Pipes' home for 20 years, is raising funds to help Ukraine's citizens and refugees. On Friday March 4th, 2022 the resident musicians played the Ukrainian national anthem while we held a collection for them, raising over £500. We've been fund raising ever since.January 2023 update: don't know exactly where we are with donations now, but pretty sure it's well over £2000.
