If you mean they played at the arena at the New Quay Head, then I know that this was an arrangement which was in place for a while and was an alternative venue for the regular Saturday night appearances which prior to and since then have taken place in the Main Street.
I did mean the "bandstand/boxing ring" at the paddling pool .
The reason for the pipe band playing there was possibly to do with the sea cadets having an open day.
