After 90 years in storage the bagpipes have been restored by the Black Raven Pipe Band in cooperation with the Meehan family, who were present to mark this historic event. William Meehan joined the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and subsequently fought in the 1916 Rising in both the GPO and the Mendicity Institute. William was part of the Fingal 5th Battalion and is listed on our 1916 Memorial plaque.

Our Vision

We are a group with an idea and a dream, one which we know we can achieve again.Proud of our accomplishments, The Black Raven Pipe band are known throughout the country and have had the good fortune previously to compete and win in the World Championships! Work and life schedules being what they are we have experienced a number of changes over the past number of years.
However, we feel we can carry on the tradition while more accurately reflecting the current composition of the band. A history to be proud of through hard work and perseverance the nucleus of the band was formed. With our strong history in mind we are also excited and looking forward to embracing our futures... embark with us on the next exciting chapter of the band's history!
