Our History

Marching Since 1913

A Century of Tradition

Formed on 24th March 1913, Craigywarren Flute Band is one of the oldest bands still parading in Northern Ireland. Based just three miles from the village of Clough, Co. Antrim, we've grown from strength to strength for well over a hundred years.

Our membership spans generations — from young teenagers taking up the flute for the first time to past and serving members with thirty, forty, even fifty-plus years in the band. That mix of youth and experience is what keeps our sound, and our tradition, alive.
