San Francisco Pipers' Club Home Page

The San Francisco Pipers' Club was founded in 1979 to provide a supportive environment for people learning the uilleann pipes in the vicinity of the San Francisco Bay Area. The club meets approximately once a month and offers free piping, reed making and pipe maintenance lessons to members. Every two years, the club hosts the West Coast Piping Tionól, a weekend-long festival of piping. The club also organizes other events, such as parties and picnics, and hosts visiting pipers.

IUPD 2025: Mike De Smidt will be hosting an event in Ben Lomond on November 1 to celebrate International Uilleann Piping Day (IUPD). This annual event is promoted by Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU) to celebrate and promote the uilleann pipes. Contact Mike for more information.

2026 West Coast Tionól: We are pleased to announce that Tom Delaney will be the guest piper for the upcoming tionól on President's Day weekend 2026. More details to come soon....
