Virginia

We are an all-volunteer band from a variety of backgrounds and are always seeking new members, from beginners to experienced musicians.

Alexandria’s pipe band can trace its beginning to 1971, when a small group of pipers and drummers began playing together in Alexandria.

IONA’s music is a unique, acoustic weave of the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany (France), the Isle of Man and Galicia (Spain).

Moch Pryderi is one of Virginia’s oldest Pan-celtic bands. Together for 18 years, the band performs the traditional celtic reels, jigs, and ballads from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany and Galicia with occasional forays into traditional Appalachian American music.

The band was formed in late 1983 as an off shoot of the Fairfax County Firefighter’s Emerald Society which was originally organized in April of 1983.
