The village of Cullen is located in North Cork in
the
famous Sliabh Luachra area, a region renowned for its people, music
and
lore. The Cullen Pipe Band was founded in 1941 and the present day
band
continues the great musical tradition that has been part and parcel
of
this unique part of Ireland. The band has played a major role in the
life
of the local community because at one time of another almost every
house
in the parish had a member involved. Tuition of young pipers and
drummers
continues on a weekly basis to maintain our present high standard.
Our
pipers and drummers have distinguished themselves in both band and
solo
contests, and have been invited abroad to play over the years.
It is our wish to further this musical progression
for many years to come
We would also like to acknowledge the continued
support
of our sponsers Rathmore Credit Union,Cork County Council
and all our local supporters.
