World War II had just ended. It was the summer of 1945. The natives were emerging from the 'cocoon' of restrictions in the townland of Drumalig, a few miles from Carryduff on the outskirts of Belfast.
A group of youths, mostly farmers' sons, congregated in a corrugated-iron, lean-to garage on the farm of Fred Scott. Somewhat tired of their wartime pursuits (which were limited), they hit upon the idea of forming a pipe band. But got bogged-down on just what to put in the title!
