About Us

Beginning in 1980 as the Wanneroo Pipe Band, we currently have one remaining foundation member - Our Pipe Major, Len Perry.
The band became North Metro Pipe Band Inc in 2008 to reflect the greater area where our members reside.
In 2017, we changed name to our current name of Northside Highlanders in order to have a more distinctive name within the WA piping community.
The band is extremely proud to be associated with the RSL Yanchep Two Rocks Sub branch. The playing members were made associate members of the Sub Branch on Anzac Day 2023 and enjoy providing music to the sub branch on Anzac Day, Australia Day and Rememberance Day along with other events from the RSL Yanchep Two Rocks sub branch.
We have enjoyed playing many country engagements over the years in Western Australian from Shark Bay to Kalgoorlie to Albany.
Other notable events have been playing for the Olympic Torch relay, The Cancer Council Relay for Life, Blessing of the Fleet and playing for Andy Stewart in Perth.
Several families within the band have more than one generation playing in the band. We currently have six life members.
