Churchtown Pipe Band was founded in 1919 during the War of Independence. The band continued to go from strength to strength with members like Gerry Byrne winning the All Ireland Solo Piping competitions, the band was broadcasting on national radio from 1935 to 1955. 
During these years the band excelled in competitions all over Ireland.After many years of inactivity the present band was restarted and it has been a great success ever since. In 2009 the band got an invitation to play in a twinned town, Grandvillier in France, to mark the ocassion of Bastille day which turned out to be another great success. 

The band is made up of 4 drummers and 6 pipers and we are always looking for new members. The band practises every Tuesday and Friday at 8pm in Castlemitchell
