 A Top Quality Bagpiper, With Over 500 Happy Customers, at Great Prices.
Where It All Began 
  • My father started teaching me the bagpipes when I was 8 years old. On the video below you can see my first ever blow on the bagpipes! 

  • Throughout my childhood, I piped in numerous pipe bands and took part in several competitions across both Scotland and England. Including Pipe Major at The Bagpipe Learning Centre

  • I have developed an incredible passion for the bagpipes and receive a huge amount of honour and enjoyment being able to play the bagpipes and spread the sound of the pipes at events across the world.

Experience

​

At the age of twenty one I piped at my first event. Since then I have piped at over 800 events, including weddings, Burns Suppers, ceilidhs, private parties, corporate events and many more. 

 

Recent highlights include; 

 

  • Piping in St Andrews on the film set for Mark Wahlberg's international TV series, “Meet the Wahlbergs”

 

  • Playing at the British and Irish Lions Rugby leaving dinner in London - June 2016 

 

  • Piping at a major corporate event for over 600 people in Dubai

Events

​

Weddings

​

A wedding is a very special day for everyone involved. I have had the honour and privilege of piping at numerous weddings over the years.

From piping outside the church/venue as the guests arrive, piping the bride down the aisle, to playing for the guests at the wedding reception. The Highland Bagpipe always adds a huge amount of atmosphere to the occasion and always make your special day a bit more Scottish.  

​

 The most popular wedding tunes are Highland Cathedral, Amazing Grace and Scotland the Brave, but I can play any pipe tune of your choice.

​

​

Funerals 

​

For centuries,  the Highland Bagpipes have been played at funerals in Scotland and now across the globe.

​

Well-loved tunes, such as Amazing Grace, the Dark Isle, Flowers of the Forest and Highland Cathedral provide comfort and inspiration at this difficult time.  

​

​

Corporate Events 

​

Having a Bagpiper at a corporate event can be the perfect way to give your event that all-important 'wow' factor. A Scottish Bagpiper could be just the thing to make your corporate event that bit more memorable. I have piped at many corporate events throughout the years, from piping as clients and employees arrive, to piping special guests onto the stage. The pipes are also a brilliant way to show foreign clients a 'Taste of Britain",  as the pipes are a very traditional Scottish instrument.

Burns Night​

​

Burns Nights take place across the world in late January to celebrate the life and poetry of Robert Burns, Scotland's best-known poet.  No Burns Night is complete without a piper.  I have piped the haggis in at numerous Burns Suppers, from Edinburgh Castle to Paris.  Traditionally a piper will pipe as the guests arrive and then pipe the haggis in for the Toast "To A Haggis".

Multiple Bagpipers

​

My father and my brother both play the bagpipes to a very high level. We have performed together on multiple occasions when clients have requested more than one piper. I can also source more bagpipers if you require more than 3.
