Allen originally joined the band around the 1990 tour of New England and played as a back row piper for a number of years. He moved to play with other bands including Glencourse and Straven before returning to North Berwick as Pipe Major.
David was a former member of the band who moved on to compete in Grade 1 with Lothian & Borders Police and latterly with Shotts & Dykehead when they became World Champions in 2015. Unfortunately Grade 1 commitments did not permit David to continue long as Pipe Major. David still Tutors the Junior Section of the Band.
Keith is another former member of the band who moved on to improve himself playing with Stockbridge Pipe Band in Edinburgh. A new business brought him back to the North Berwick area where he is putting his experiences to good use. Due to pressures of work and hip problems Keith stood down as Pipe Major in 2018 but continues as a piper with the Band.
When he retired Eddie moved into the North Berwick area from Coventry where he was Pipe Major of the Coventry Pipe Band. He played as a piper with North Berwick until 2018 when he agreed to step into the gap created with Keith standing down.
